Ingredients:
Cajun Seasoning
▢1 tsp paprika
▢1 tsp garlic powder
▢1 tsp salt
▢1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
▢1/2 tsp black pepper
▢1/2 tsp dried thyme
▢1/2 tsp dried oregano
▢1/2 tsp onion powder
▢1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Rice
▢2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
▢24 oz cauliflower rice, fresh, about 6 cups
▢2 tsp garlic, minced
▢2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Shrimp
▢1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, uncooked, peeled, deveined, tails can be on or off
▢1 tbsp olive oil or ghee (melted) 

Instructions:
Stir together cajun seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in cauliflower rice, minced garlic, and half of the cajun seasoning. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cauliflower should be tender and close to done.
While cauliflower is cooking, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining 1/2 of the cajun seasoning in a bowl or ziploc bag. Shrimp should be coated in seasoning.
Stir seasoned shrimp into the cauliflower rice. Cover and cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir chopped parsley or green onions into your finished dish before serving

Hot Mama Grade: B

Hot Mama Notes: This was good, but not a Rockstar recipe. The kids were not impressed. They did love yesterday's new grilled chicken recipe, though!  There isn't much to say here. I used frozen Cauliflower rice and frozen shrimp. I cooked both at the same time in different pots. I had to drain the shrimp because there was so much liquid. It was good. The flavoring was good. But probably won't make it again.
