Directions

For the Shrimp & Salad

  1. Season and cook the shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then cook according to your preferred method. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Start the base: Add the cauliflower rice to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the vegetables and herbs: Add the parsley, mint, cucumber, tomato, and green onion.
  4. Toss together: Toss everything together until evenly combined.
  5. Serve: Top with the cooked shrimp and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Pro Tips

  • Don’t overcook the shrimp: Cook just until pink and opaque, then cool slightly so it doesn’t wilt the herbs.
  • Drain the cauliflower rice well: If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and pat dry so the salad doesn’t get watery.
  • Use fresh herbs: Parsley and mint are the backbone of tabbouleh—fresh makes a big difference.
  • Adjust the seasoning: Taste after tossing and add a little more salt, pepper, or paprika if needed.
  • Meal-prep friendly: Store the shrimp separately and add it just before serving to keep the texture and flavor fresh.
