Ingredients:

2 cups cauliflower
210g
2 oz cream cheese
54g
8 oz shrimps
230g
1/2 cup cucumber
70g
1 avocado
200g
4 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
60g
2 tsp chili sauce
8g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:
- Rinse the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice grains.
- Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 3-4 minutes, until tender. Let it cool slightly.
- Once cooled, mix in the cream cheese until well combined and creamy. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and opaque.
- Drain the shrimp and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
3. Prepare the Other Ingredients:
- Dice the cucumber and avocado into small cubes.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise salad dressing with the chili sauce.
4. Assemble the Shrimp Stacks:
- Using a round mold or an empty canned-good can with both ends removed, begin layering the ingredients on a plate.
- First, add a layer of cauliflower rice and press gently to compact it.
- Follow with a layer of diced cucumber.
- Next, add a layer of chopped shrimp, pressing gently once more.
- Add a layer of diced avocado.
- Drizzle a spoonful of the chili mayonnaise mixture on top.
5. Season and Serve:
- Once you have finished stacking, carefully remove the mold, pressing down gently to ensure the stack stays intact.
- Repeat the layering process for the remaining ingredients.
- Garnish with an optional additional sprinkle of salt and black pepper if desired.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb shrimp stacks!

Tips:

- Ensure the cauliflower is finely chopped to achieve a rice-like consistency.

- Use fresh, high-quality shrimps for the best flavor and texture.

- For added freshness, chill the shrimp stacks in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili sauce to match your desired level of spiciness.

- To prevent the avocado from browning, mix it with a little lemon or lime juice before stacking.
