Try this Mojo Shrimp in Skillet for Mexican Night!

I didn’t grow up eating shrimp or seafood of any kind because my mom wasn’t a fan. She was born in Oklahoma and raised in California — so, dinner was always a unique fare. From black eyed peas and cornbread, to okra covered in cornmeal… to homemade cheesy enchiladas and lots of avocados.

My love of seafood didn’t appear until my early 20’s when some college friends took me to eat fish tacos at a local Mexican shop in southern California. Now, I can’t resist making Lime Crema, Homemade Tortilla Chips, lots of Homemade Guacamole and now this Mojo Shrimp in Skillet.

How to Make the Best Mojo Shrimp in Skillet

This Mojo Shrimp in Skillet recipe is derived from the famous Cuban dish is typically made with a sour orange. But outside of Florida, it’s not easy to find. To get a similar flavor, you can pair a little fresh orange juice and lime juice together. The flavor is not only incredibly tasty but also CLEAN!

While I squeezed the fresh oranges and limes to make the Mojo seasoning, my husband got to work on blended up our cauliflower florets into riced cauliflower using our high speend blender.

Broiling Riced Cauliflower

There are lots of ways to make riced cauliflower, but we have found that the simplest way is broiling. The benefit is that we can cook the rice without taking up another place on our stovetop. Broiling the riced cauliflower in the oven is easy using a non-toxic baking sheet with parchment paper.

However, you can make this rice in a large skillet on the stove as well. For the stove top, just add a little coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil and some sea salt. It’s so delicious in this dish.

We love Clean Eating Seafood Recipes

For our family meals, we now incorporate seafood at least 2 nights a week. You can find more fish and seafood recipes here.

From Steamed Clams in Wine Sauce, to homemade clean Crab Cakes, to Chilean Sea Bass with a delectable Macadamia-Orange Crust, we love seafood.

And if you’re like us, you’re going to love this delicious Mojo Shrimp Skillet with Cauliflower Rice.

    We really enjoyed this recipe! We typically cook our shrimp in garlic butter, so it was nice to mix it up with this citrusy shrimp. We will make it again!!

    This recipe was easy to make, really delicious, and very easy to modify to what you have in your house. I didn’t have shrimp, so I used wild cod instead, and I also did not have cauliflower, so I used jasmine rice. I put the extra cooked marinade on the rice and mixed it in, and added a side of roasted asparagus. My family ate it up quickly. I will definitely make this one again!
