Aye – so boom, right? I was legit starving. And I was like, I want something GOOD. Like, if I’m gonna consume calories these days, they can’t be empty calories. You know what I mean? So, I was like, I need some flavor and some pizzaz. Oh, and it has to be in true DariusCooks fashion. That means we need a good 20 minute situation from start to finish. Enter shrimp! Oh, and jerk seasoning. With a little piece of cauliflower rice, too. Bam! I mean, like for real – it’s THAT GOOD!
