Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 1¼ pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (21-25 count)
- 1 tablespoon pure extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
- 1½ cups chicken stock
- ½ fresh lemon, juice only
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ cup softened butter
- 2½ cups Cauliflower Rice
- 1½ cups Shaved Brussels Sprouts
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (Italian Flat Leaf Parsley)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
METHOD
- Heat enamel coated cast iron skillet (LeCreuset or Staub) and add olive oil.
- Add shrimp and cook until tender and no longer translucent, reduce heat. Remove Shrimp and set aside.
- Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Do not allow garlic to brown - it will make it bitter.
- Add chicken stock and lemon juice.
- Cook until chicken stock is reduced by one third. After it is reduced, add Italian seasoning.
- Reduce heat to low, and add butter. If pan is too hot, the butter will separate.
- Add shrimp back into sauce while you are making the "rice". Cook the cauliflower rice according to directions.
- You can purchase shaved brussels sprouts but they tend to be dry. It's easy to slice a brussel sprout and it will be fresher. Place the shaved/thinly sliced brussel sprouts in a saute pan with a little butter on medium heat. Once they have wilted add the cooked cauliflower rice to the same pan and stir. Add a little salt and granulated garlic. Stir.
- To serve, spoon Cauliflower Rice with shaved Brussels Sprouts into low dinner bowls. Top with Shrimp Scampi.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese and fresh chopped Italian flat leaf parsley.
- Enjoy!
