This easy weeknight shrimp dish features a perfect combination of creamy coconut and tart lime. Served with cauliflower “rice,” which conveniently cooks in the same pot, it’s a low-carb meal with plenty of veggies to keep you feeling satisfied. A word of caution: don’t be tempted to pressure cook the shrimp as it will end up with a rubbery texture. Luckily, the shrimp cooks in just minutes using the Instant Pot’s sauté function.
