Hungry Girl's Island Shrimp Cauliflower Rice Bowl

I wanted something light and fresh today so I thought I'd give this a try.

Ingredients

Sauce

1/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt

1/2 oz mashed avocado

1 tsp lime juice

1/8 tsp ground cumin

Bowl

2 cups roughly chopped cauliflower

1 cup broccoli florets

1/8 tsp salt

4 oz raw large shrimp, peeled, tails removed, deveined

1/8 tsp ground cumin

1/8 tsp chili powder

1/4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup chopped mango

2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

I used my food processor to pulse the cauliflower.  I think it might have been a little too finely processed but it was still okay.  

Place all sauce ingredients in a bowl and blend.  

I also used the small bowl attachment on my food processor to make the sauce.  I was insanely frustrated because my avocado wasn't really ripe enough and I couldn't get it to blend in, even with a mortar and pestle! 

Spray a large skillet with olive oil spray and put it on medium high heat.  Add broccoli and 1/4 cup water.  Cover and cook for 3 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and the water has evaporated.

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet.  Cook and stir until hot and softened, 2-3 min.  Transfer contents to a medium large bowl.  Stir in salt, and cover to keep warm.  

Remove skillet from heat; clean, if needed.  Re-spray and bring to medium heat.  Add shrimp, and season with cumin and chili powder.  Cook and stir for about 4 min, until cooked through.

Top veggies with shrimp, beans, and mango, cilantro, and sauce.  

Makes one 4 pt serving.  

What I changed ~  a lot.

I more than doubled the amount of spices in here and doubled the mango as well as it still seemed a little too dry and bland for me.  Of course my sauce was kind of a disaster so who knows if that would be necessary.  

I love mango and it is free so it wasn't a bad thing to bulk it up and add more flavor, color and texture.  

I think this was overall good, not great but good.  I would also definitely cook the cauliflower longer because it really still had a strong cauliflower taste. 

So with some changes I think this recipe has a lot of potential.  

Experiment to make it your own.  

Happy Cooking!
