Shrimp salads and springtime just go hand and hand! With extra daylight and a warm breeze, fire up the grill and gather your family for a delicious dinner on the patio. Season large shrimp with a cajun spice mix, layer onto a skewer, and throw them onto the grill for extra smoky flavor. While the shrimp is grilling, combine Ocean Mist Farms brussels sprouts, broccoli, green onions, and cilantro into one deliciously green and nutrient-dense salad. Toss with a homemade sweet and tangy chili-lime vinaigrette for a refreshing meal that celebrates the wonderful taste of spring.
Easily customizable cauliflower rice bowls are delightful weeknight suppers that the whole family will love. With just one bag of Ocean Mist Season and Steam cauliflower rice, this craveworthy meal is ready in under 15 minutes. Begin by filling the bag of cauliflower rice with delicious flavors of the Mediterranean: olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and garlic. Steam in the microwave for 3 minutes and pour the tender rice into a serving bowl. Layer with fresh sliced cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and salty feta cheese. Make it your own by topping with slices of grilled chicken or a homemade falafel for extra protein or add a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.
