  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head of cauliflower (or 1 bag of pre-riced cauliflower)
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame oil)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice

  1. Rice the Cauliflower: If using a whole head of cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem, then cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower for convenience.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

  1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

  1. Add More Oil: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Vegetables: Add the minced garlic and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

  1. Add Cauliflower Rice: Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Push to the Side: Push the cauliflower rice to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix everything together.
  3. Add Shrimp and Sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
  2. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy shrimp and cauliflower fried rice!
