Notes

Fresh riced cauliflower was used. If using frozen riced cauliflower, the amount may need to be adjusted. Just add the amount for 4 servings based on the package label.
If you use frozen cauliflower, you only need to sauté it until it is warmed through.
The juice from half a lime was used. The equivalent amount of bottled juice is about 1 tablespoon.
Garnish with fresh slices of lime. This not only makes it look festive but adds a bit more flavor to it too.
For a dairy-free option, use ghee instead of butter.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The best way to reheat it is in a skillet over low heat. This way it will become nice and crispy again.
