Shrimp B.L.T. “Rice” Bowls

When I’m craving sushi, I make these delicious “rice bowls”. This one is by far our favorite and how can it not be when the cauliflower rice is cooked in bacon grease?! I also add kale (that’s the “lettuce”, here) to the rice to sneak in a little fiber for my kiddos and they LOVE it! Like many people, they prefer spinach over kale, but they can’t tell the difference when it’s wilted down so….WINNING!!
