Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium cauliflower head (or 4 cups cauliflower rice)
- 12 oz. shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots (or fresh if preferred)
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1:Prepare the cauliflower rice: If using fresh cauliflower, cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-sized pieces. Alternatively, use pre-made cauliflower rice.
- Step 2: Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 3: Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the diced onion, garlic, and frozen peas and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Step 4: Cook the cauliflower rice: Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and starting to brown. Be sure to cook it thoroughly to avoid a soggy texture.
- Step 5: Scramble the eggs: 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 them with the rice.
- Step 6: Add the shrimp and seasonings: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Step 7: Serve: Garnish with green onions if desired, and serve hot.
