Description

A healthy and low-carb twist on traditional fried rice, made with shrimp and cauliflower rice for a light yet flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, grated or 4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining sesame oil and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add peas and carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs on the other side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through.
  6. Add cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir everything together.
  7. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
  8. Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir in green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use pre-riced cauliflower to save time.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste or use coconut aminos for a soy-free version.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
