Try a delicious and healthy keto fried cauliflower rice with shrimp recipe. It's a quick, low-carb meal full of flavor and protein.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower riced
- 2 small baby carrots
- ½ cup green beans sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- ½ medium white onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons sesame seed oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 1 pound raw shrimp
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- crushed red pepper or sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it’s a rice-like consistency. (Don’t have a food processor? Most grocery stores now sell fresh and/or frozen cauliflower rice).
- In a large skillet, spray pan with nonstick spray. Add the eggs and stir until cooked. Place cooked eggs into a small bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add oil, onion, garlic, mixed vegetables, and shrimp. Cook until veggies and shrimp are fully cooked.
- Add cauliflower rice, soy sauce, black pepper, ginger and eggs. Mix well.
- Serve with crushed red pepper or sriracha for a spicy kick.
Notes
Be careful not to overcook the riced cauliflower, about 3 minutes is all it needs. Overcooking can result in a mushy, soggy texture.
If you're using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them first. You can do this quickly by placing them in a colander and running cold water over them for a few minutes, or by soaking them in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
There's no need to thaw frozen cauliflower rice. It can go straight from the freezer into the pan, although it may take a bit longer to cook.
Equipment
- Food processor if using fresh whole cauliflower
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Skillet
- Wooden spoon
