Low Carb Jumbo Shrimp Risotto

52 ratings

This rich and creamy take on risotto replaces Arborio with cauliflower rice, creating an indulgent low carb version of this classic dish.

Where the recipe calls for jumbo shrimp, opt for ready cooked and shelled shrimp as this keeps cooking and preparation simple, and the shrimp simply require adding to the dish at the end and cooking through.

    Tastes expensive! I subbed Boursin cheese for a few ingredients and it worked out perfectly. So flavorful and have made it twice in a week now!

                  Really enjoyed this. It was delicious. Added some minced garlic and chopped portobello with the shallots. Extra Parmesan and yum!

                    Not good. Way too much cauliflower, not enough shrimp, not enough Parmesan, not enough seasoning. Big disappointment.

                      A recipe is a recipe, fix it up. Definitely always add more shrimp to every recipe. Duh! Lol

                    This recipe is really good and very satisfying! I just made a few tweeks: I added spinach, seasoned my shrimp w/lemon pepper, used 1/2 cup of parm cheese, and cream cheese in place of the yoplait. Will definitely make again.

                      Okay, that sounds even better than the original recipe

                    This was amazing. I added a bit more lemon juice and pieces of chorizo. Used chicken stock instead of vegetable.

                      We weren’t a fan of this one. Found it to be quite bland.

                        This was amazing!! Used some of the same subs. Used a little bacon, heavy cream and ricotta also.

                        Awesome, but I did change up with sour cream for the creme fraiche, green onions for chives, yellow onion for shallots, chicken stock for the vegetables stock, and added garlic. Also cooked shrimp separately vs, using precooked.
