Ingredients

  • Lemon Pepper Shrimp
  • 1 pound medium or large shrimp deveined

  • ½ tsp. pepper

  • ½ tsp. Minced garlic

  • ½ tsp. dried oregano

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 lemon (juiced)

  • Salt to taste

  • Cauliflower Tortilla
  • 1 head of cauliflower cut with stems removed

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ tsp. dried oregano

  • ½ tsp. paprika

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Lemon Pepper Shrimp
  • Defrost shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Combine shrimp, pepper, minced garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice into a food storage bag and toss to coat. Marinate for at least thirty minutes (I usually marinate overnight).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil starts sizzling, add shrimp and cook until crisp & browned (about 2 minutes per side). Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp once cooked for extra lemon flavor.
  • Pair cauliflower tortilla with lemon pepper shrimp and toppings of your choice. I enjoyed these “tacos” with mild salsa and sour cream.
  • Cauliflower Tortilla
  • Preheat your oven to 375 F. Pulse the cauliflower until you get a texture finer than rice using a blender or a food processor. Steam the riced cauliflower over boiling water for 5 minutes then place in a dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible (once cool to touch).
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl. Add in the eggs, oregano, and paprika, and season to taste (feel free to add extra spices if needed). Using the mixture create 6 balls of equal size, and spread each ball out on a parchment-lined or lightly buttered baking sheet (see photos above).
  • Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
