Shrimp shapes up nicely with a few little extras. Cooking the plump pink curls with butter and garlic is a no-brainer. But see what happens when you add a little tomato paste, peppery seasonings and fresh lemon juice to the works—they practically pop right off the plates! Tender-crisp string beans graced with lemon zest and a mound of warm, fluffy, spiced cauliflower rice complete this well calibrated Clean15 composition.

Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the string beans. Zest and juice the lemon.
Boil the string beans
Add the string beans to the pot of boiling water and boil, 2 to 3 min., until bright green. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Add a drizzle of oil, the lemon zest (start with ½), a pinch of the spices and S&P; toss well.
Sauté the cauliflower rice
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Sauté ⅓ of the garlic, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté, 6 to 8 min., until softened; season with ½ the remaining spices and S&P.
Cook & coat the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Cook the shrimp*, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Add 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp water (double both for 4 portions), the tomato paste, lemon juice and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until coated.
Plate your dish
Divide the cauliflower rice between your plates. Top with the shrimp and string beans. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
