Ingredients
- 3 Cups of riced cauliflower
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable oil divided use
- ½ Cup Onions finely chopped
- ½ Cup Chopped carrots
- ½ Cup red bell pepper chopped
- ½ Cup frozen peas
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- ¾ pounds shrimp peeled and deveined
- optional: sliced green onions for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and carrot to the pan, cook 3-5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the red bell pepper; cook 2-3 minutes more. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the vegetables from the pan, place them on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Pour the remaining teaspoon of oil into the pan; add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a spatula until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cauliflower rice, reserved cooked veggies and frozen peas to the pan. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil and cook until cauliflower has just softened 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan; cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until shrimp is pink and opaque.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use any kind of vegetable mix like green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, snap peas, snow peas, mushrooms, squash, etc.
- Instead of shrimp, use chicken, beef, salmon, or any kind of fish.
- Crispy tofu is a great option for a vegetarian stir fry.
- Serve the stir-fried rice with Sriracha for spicy flavors.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- We do not recommend freezing this recipe since it is best to freeze cauliflower rice uncooked.
