Ingredients
  

  • 5 Tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ¾ Pound large raw shrimp
  • 1 12 Ounce bag frozen cauliflower rice
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Scallions white and green parts, thinly sliced and divided
  • ½ Teaspoon dried oregano or Greek seasoning
  • 1 Teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ Teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 Cups watercress
  • Feta crumbled, to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, flipping once, until cooked through or about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the garlic, and the white parts of the scallion to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the cauliflower rice and cook, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, until heated through and just starting to brown; about 7 more minutes. Add the shrimp back to the pan along with the lemon juice and zest, oregano, feta, and salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the feta has started to melt. Turn the heat off and stir in the watercress so that it wilts slightly.
  • Divide between plates and top with the green parts of the scallion and more feta. Serve with lemon wedges.
  • Enjoy!
