1. Prepare the Shrimp
Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add shrimp.
Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and slightly crispy. Squeeze in lemon juice and sprinkle chili flakes and parsley. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
2. Make the Cauliflower Rice
In another pan (or same skillet wiped clean), heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add cauliflower rice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5–6 minutes until tender and golden at edges.
