The combination of shrimp, cauliflower, and curry spices provides a flavorful and satisfying quick seafood meal that will surely become a new favorite.

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower

Wash and cut the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets. This will ensure even cooking and a pleasant texture in your Shrimp and Cauliflower Curry.

Step 2: Sauté Garlic

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3: Add Cauliflower and Curry Powder

Add the cauliflower florets and curry powder to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cauliflower with the oil and curry powder mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is slightly softened. This is key for a perfect keto shrimp recipe because cauliflower replaces the carbs.

Step 4: Add Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through. Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as it can become tough. You can add salt to taste.

Step 5: Add Coconut Milk

Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. This brings the creaminess to your healthy shrimp dinner.
