CARIBBEAN SHRIMP BOWL



Caribbean Shrimp Bowl image

After switching to a paleo diet a few years ago, we have started eating tons of veggies for almost every meal-yes, even breakfast. We've gotten used to swapping in cauliflower, broccoli and kale in place of carbs like rice or potatoes. This bowl is literally chock-full of veggies and has tons of Caribbean-inspired flavor! Plus, it is so simple to make and uses one skillet! -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
