Here's a cauliflower rice bowl that you can pull together in under twenty minutes. To shorten the time even more you can make the rice, veggies, and protein ahead of time and the warm it up when you're ready to eat. I added shrimp but feel free to add your favorite protein source. I keep a bag of frozen cooked shrimp in my freezer and thaw in the refrigerator the day I'm using them in a recipe.

I also keep broccoli florets and riced cauliflower in the freezer. The past several weeks I've been able to buy fresh snap peas, so I added those as well. Feel free to any other veggies you have, like carrots, peas, or stir-fry veggies.

I like to use coconut cauliflower rice in this recipe, but feel free to use any kind of rice, frozen or fresh. If you don't have cauliflower rice on hand you can use carrot or zucchini noodles, or grain-free noodles made with chickpeas or lentils.

I have this peanut sauce on standby to add to meals throughout the week. Or another sauce you might like is my Tangy Peanut Sauce, which is similar but has tamari and ginger added to it. And feel free to swap out the peanut butter for a nut or seed butter you prefer. Enjoy!

Peanut Sauce

I like this on the mild side, but you can certainly add some grated ginger and a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.

To add some umami flavor, add a teaspoon or so of gluten-free tamari.

I tend to like my sauce on the sweet side, but you can certainly take the sweetener down by 1 tablespoon or so if you prefer it a bit tangier and less sweet.

If the sauce comes out a bit too thick, I add a bit more water and lime juice. If it's too thin, add a bit more peanut butter.

Feel free to swap the peanut butter with your favorite nut or seed butter.

For SCD, use honey.
