INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (which offers a richer, more fragrant flavor than olive oil)
- ½ cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large head of cauliflower, processed into a fine “rice” texture
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 2 cups fish or frozen peas
- 2 eggs, scrambled
- 24 fresh or frozen shrimp, tails removed
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos
INSTRUCTIONS
- Sauté Garlic and Onion in Sesame Oil
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté for about 3 minutes until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
- Add Cauliflower Rice, Carrots, and Peas, Then Incorporate Scrambled Eggs
Next, stir in the cauliflower “rice,” diced carrots, and peas. Add the scrambled eggs to the skillet and mix everything thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly tender and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Cook Shrimp with Liquid Aminos Until Pink and Tender
Add the shrimp to the skillet and pour in the liquid aminos (or soy sauce). Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness.
Once everything is well-cooked and the flavors are melded together, transfer the mixture to your favorite serving bowl. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious Shrimp Cauliflower Fried Rice, packed with vibrant vegetables, succulent shrimp, and a hint of sesame flavor.
