Ingredients

  • ΒΎ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 1 bag (12 oz) frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1Β½ tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • Β½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Β½ tsp Cajun seasoning
  • ΒΌ tsp black pepper
  • ΒΌ tsp kosher salt
  • Juice of Β½ lemon
  • Fresh parsley or dried parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Pat shrimp completely dry. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat Ninja Crispi to 400Β°F for 3 minutes.
  • Air fry shrimp in a single layer at 400Β°F for 6–8 minutes, shaking basket at the 4-minute mark. Shrimp are done when pink, curled, and lightly crisped at the edges. Do not overcook.
  • While shrimp cooks, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic (or garlic powder) and cook 60 seconds until fragrant. Add cauliflower rice straight from frozen. Stir-fry 5–6 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Plate cauliflower rice, top with shrimp. Squeeze lemon over shrimp and finish with parsley. Meal Prep Notes
  • Shrimp is best cooked fresh or same-day β€” it loses texture quickly in the fridge. Cook to order when possible.
  • If prepping ahead: store shrimp and cauliflower rice separately. Reheat shrimp in Ninja Crispi at 375Β°F for 3–4 minutes only β€” do not overheat.
  • Limit to 1–2 servings per week for gout management β€” shrimp is moderate-purine.
  • Swap butter for olive oil entirely to improve the fatty liver rating and reduce saturated fat.
  • Add a handful of spinach to the cauliflower rice for extra micronutrients at ~10 cal cost.
