Delicious! I served it with coconut lime shrimp and it was the perfect compliment! Mine was runny for some reason but it didn’t distract from the flavor st all.

This is delicious! Thank you! Make sure not to use the whole can of coconut milk if it's more than 8oz. My can was 13.5oz, so I used about half the can. I used Birds Eye frozen cauliflower rice and microwaved it for 4 minutes first before starting this recipe. Now the hard part is only eating 25% of it.

I used one small bag of frozen green giant rice cauliflower and one can of coconut milk. It took longer to cook down the liquid and I thought for sure it would be mushy. The texture was perfect! The fresh lime and herbs take this recipe over the top! I will be craving this dish.

Is the coconut milk regular or unsweetened? The app rates both a grade A and keto friendly?

I got the big Costco rice cauliflower in the freezer area. I put 3 bags ( 6 cups). Added 1 can of coconut milk. 3 limes, juiced, salt and a small bunch of scallions. Fast easy, and plenty for leftovers. 1 can of coconut milk for 3 cups rice seemed overkill. Has a Thai flavor, more like a rice. We love it!

Really great :) Creamy, smooth flavor. Had it with some left over low carb ham. Took 15 mins for mine to absorb. Was 185 calories for half the recipe and I used lite coconut milk.

Loved this so much! Sooo good. It did take 30 minutes for mine to absorb. How long does this keep in the fridge?

I would try a coconut-free mild curry sauce instead of the coconut milk if you are allergic.

This is delicious!!!!! I’m going to play with the amount of coconut milk as mine took 30 min to absorb but I’m at sea level in a humid environment!! Love the lime coconut flavours! Thought if I added less coconut milk I would add a few tablespoons of toasted coconut for texture!!! A fantastic substitute for a starchy side dish!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the recipe. Feel free to add less coconut milk if this works for you.
