Cajun Shrimp Meal Prep

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 tsp paprika
1tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb peeled shrimp
2 tbsp oil, divided
1 zucchini, chopped
1 summer squash, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cups cauliflower rice

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the shrimp and mix until everything is evenly coated.
In a large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the shrimp in the skillet, in a single layer. Cook until they begin to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue to cook until they are cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set it aside.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and add the zucchini, summer squash, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and mix everything together.
While the vegetables are cooking, cook the cauliflower rice according to package directions.
Serve the shrimp and vegetables immediately with the cauliflower rice or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
