Many people are drawn to cauliflower rice because it is lower in carbohydrates and calories than rice. It does not taste the same as rice and it does, in fact, taste like cauliflower. In this recipe, however, it is mixed with cheese and garlic powder, and will take on those flavors. Give it a try for a lower-carbohydrate meal. You can always add some cauliflower rice into your regular rice as an introduction to this new flavor. Pictured here with shrimp on top.

Step 1
Trim cauliflower and cut into small pieces.

Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Add oil to the pan.
Step 5
Once hot, add cauliflower to the pan and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until steaming, 4-6 minutes.

Add in the spinach and cook until fully wilted.
Notes
*You can find premade cauliflower rice fresh or frozen in most grocery stores.
**Cheddar cheese is great in this, but you can also try parmesan, gouda, or a blend!
