This is all about a super creamy sauce and loads of fresh lemon flavour. It wraps itself around the cauliflower rice just like the creamy starch in a regular risotto.

This is literally the easiest cauliflower rice risotto ever.

Getting started
2

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

3

Add the onion and cook until it is transparent, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add the cauliflower and broth and bring to a boil.

5

Cook the cauliflower, stirring occasionally, until it is soft, about 8 minutes and then remove the pan from the heat.

Then ...
8

Add the spinach to the cauliflower rice and put the pan back on the heat.

9

Let the spinach wilt then pour in the sauce you made and let it heat through.

10

Set it aside while you make the garlic chili prawns.

11

Heat the olive oil or butter in a medium-sized frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

12

Add the prawns, paprika, chilli flakes, and sea salt to the pan and mix the prawns and spices together.

Cook the prawns for two minutes then turn them over. Cook them for another two minutes, or until they are no longer opaque. Serve the prawns and pan juices over the cauliflower rice risotto.
