A delicious and healthy Asian-inspired dish that's perfect even for those on a diet. Packed with protein and plenty of fiber, it looks simply luxurious. Shrimp are pan-fried and tossed with mango chutney, which coats them in a delicious glaze. Serve with cauliflower rice. It's significantly lower in calories and carbs than regular rice, yet looks just as good on the plate. You can buy ready-made vegetable rice, or chop the cauliflower in a food processor until the pieces are the size of rice grains. Stir-fry it with chili peppers, top it with cashews and fresh herbs. Serve with shrimp and enjoy this riot of flavors.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chili pepper and white onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin seeds and cook for 1 minute. Add the cauliflower and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and heat over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; then transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the mango chutney and 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, return the shrimp to the skillet, and toss to coat.

  3. Add green onions, cashews, cilantro, and lime zest to the cauliflower; toss well. Divide the cauliflower and shrimp among plates; serve with lime wedges.

    Note


    Look for cauliflower rice in the produce section or frozen vegetable section. It contains about an eighth of the carbohydrates and calories of brown rice.
