Cauliflower Shrimp Fried Rice

On those busy weekday evenings when you don’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen, but want something satisfying and tasty. Try out my new recipe for cauliflower shrimp fried rice. It is ready in minutes and can easily be adapted to whatever your tastes may be. I like shrimp a lot! But if you prefer chicken, pork, beef or just egg, go for it! There are no rules, just stick with low carb choices and you will be fine. You can also adjust the vegetables to what you have on hand or use any leftovers. This is a dish I like to make when cleaning out the refrigerator.

Gather Your Ingredients

16 oz raw shrimp
2 eggs
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 teaspoons coconut aminos ( 1 teaspoon for the shrimp, 3 teaspoons for the cauliflower)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
4 cups raw riced cauliflower
½ cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
1 teaspoon fish sauce
¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger

How to Make Cauliflower Shrimp Fried Rice

Cut shrimp into large pieces and place into a small bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon coconut aminos, minced ginger and toasted sesame oil. Mix and let marinate.
Quickly sauté shrimp for several minutes until just done and remove from heat.
Heat up coconut oil in a large skillet and sauté cauliflower rice, mushrooms and green onions until cauliflower is tender. This should take no longer than a few minutes.
Push cauliflower to the sides of the pan forming a well and pour in your eggs. Quickly scramble in the eggs and add the remaining seasonings.
Add the shrimp and serve immediately.

Meal Prep Tips

If you like to meal prep, as a lot of us with busy lifestyles do, cauliflower fried rice adapts really well. Make the base cauliflower fried rice omitting the shrimp. This base can be kept refrigerated for several days and served either as a low carb side or main course with some added protein.
