Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Cauliflower Rice

I have had a real hankering for shrimp lately! This dish is served cold, and I really like this kind of thing in the summer. But that doesn't mean I am going to go all fall and winter without it! So I whipped it up last night and I am so glad I did! And it went great with cauliflower rice, one of my new favorite sides! SOOO good! Check it out! 

Ingredients for Shrimp Salad;
1/4 red onion, chopped
juice of two limes
1 tbsp of EVOO
1 lb of cooked shrimp, deveined and  peeled, chopped coarsely 
1/2 large jalepeno chopped
2 plum tomatoes chopped
1 bunch of cilantro chopped
1 avocado chopped

Mix onion with juice of two limes, add EVOO and salt and pepper to taste, let sit for 5 minutes.
In another bowl mix shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, jalepeno, and cilatro. Mix in onion mixture. 

Cauliflower Rice Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
1/2 yellow onion
EVOO
1/2 green or red or yellow pepper. 

Take stem off of cauliflower, put florets in blender and chop for just a few seconds until fine, but not mushy. Dice onion and pepper. Saute onion and pepper in EVOO. After they are soft, add cauliflower. Sautee until soft but not too mushy, about 5 more minutes. Done! Add salt and pepper to taste.

For those fixers out there! It's 1 red, 1 1/2 green, 1 blue. And a yellow for wine of course!
