Low Carb Cheesy Shrimp Casserole:

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity Notes
Shrimp 1 pound Peeled and deveined
Cauliflower rice 2 cups
Cheddar cheese 1 cup Shredded
Heavy cream 1/2 cup
Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup Grated
Garlic 2 cloves Minced
Olive oil 1 tablespoon
Paprika 1 teaspoon
Salt To taste
Pepper To taste
Fresh parsley (optional) 1 tablespoon Chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Cook Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
  4. Sauté Cauliflower Rice: In the same skillet, add the cauliflower rice. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice becomes tender.
  5. Make Cheese Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese into the cauliflower rice. Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and pepper to your taste. Continue stirring until the cheddar cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet with the cheesy cauliflower rice mixture. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.
  7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the entire mixture from the skillet to a baking dish.
  8. Top with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and nicely golden brown.
  10. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish the Low Carb Cheesy Shrimp Casserole with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious and satisfying low-carb meal!
