💡 To ensure the shrimp are perfectly cooked, remove them from the oven as soon as they turn pink and opaque.For added flavor, toast the riced cauliflower slightly in a skillet before heating.This dish pairs well with a glass of dry white wine for an added Mediterranean flair.If following a keto diet, you can skip the croutons or use a low-carb alternative.
