Additional

This Caribbean-inspired dish is a perfect end-of-spring indulgence. The smoky, spicy shrimp is a delightful complement to the mild, fluffy cauliflower rice, and pops of zest from the chili-lime sauce makes it a refreshing and satisfying dish. You can adjust the heat level by using more or less chili. If you're not a fan of seafood, you could replace the shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu.
