Lemon Shrimp with Feta and "Cauliflower" Rice
This is a quick way for a dinner or appetizer and using cooked shrimp! I love getting my shrimp at City Fish and they always have cooked shrimp on hand. You can always buy raw shrimp and make it yourself. Either way this is a yummy recipe!
For the rice I am using cauliflower for a great Paleo meal! If you are not paleo then go ahead and enjoy rice.
I am also using feta cheese in this recipe - feel free to omit!
Last minute I added capers and it really made this dish great.....
