Ingredients

  • 1 lb Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup Okra, sliced
  • 2 cups Cauliflower Rice
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Spice Blend
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is approximately 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the 1 lb Large Shrimp, 1 cup Okra, 2 tbsp Olive Oil, 2 tbsp Cajun Spice Blend, 1/2 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Black Pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp and okra are evenly coated.
  3. 3Carefully thread the coated shrimp and okra pieces onto skewers, alternating between shrimp and okra. Aim for about 3-4 shrimp and 3-4 pieces of okra per skewer.
  4. 4Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. 5While the skewers are grilling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 cups Cauliflower Rice to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender.
  6. 6Remove the skewers from the grill. Arrange the cooked skewers over the sautéed cauliflower rice on serving plates.
  7. 7Drizzle the 1 tbsp Lemon Juice over the shrimp and okra skewers just before serving.
