Pineapple Shrimp Curry Recipe with Cauliflower Rice

Hi friend! I hope you’ve had a splendid August! Sorry I’ve been a little MIA on the blogosphere lately. This month has been super hectic getting prepared for my Reset Yourself Nutrition Challenge that’s starting on September 8th (pop on over and sign up if you want to join the fun!) and the Warrior Women’s Wellness Weekend Retreat that I’m co-hosting with my friend Jenn Johannson on September 25th. However, now that I’m back in Saskatoon I’m excited to get writing again and to share some new recipes with you.

This recipe is one I developed for one of the private cooking classes I’ve been teaching here in Saskatoon. It’s kid-approved and super fun to make together in the kitchen. Now that the weather is starting to cool down and you’re settling back into your regular routine, it’s the perfect time to start experimenting with some fun flavours and combinations.

Adding pineapple to this curry is a great way to include an interesting new taste to a standard curry, while boosting nutrient and enzyme content. The spices, such as the turmeric in the curry powder, provide a nice punch of antioxidants while the onions, garlic, and cauliflower provide sulfur-based nutrients to support our liver detoxification. But in the end it just tastes delicious, and that’s what really matters!
