Shrimp Fried Cauliflower Rice (Paleo & Keto)

ahhh fried rice.. who doesn't love fried rice? Whenever my family ordered in an asian inspired meal growing up, shrimp/chicken fried rice was always my go to because its so flavourful!

I took this traditional asian inspired meal and turned it into a healthy family dinner. Using some of my favourite flavours like, ginger, scallion and sesame made this recipe a hit!

This recipe is Paleo, Keto, Whole30, GF, DF and can be made Vegan!

This recipe is pretty easy to make and takes less than 30 min to put together! I recomennd using fresh ginger and pure toasted sesame oil to make sure the flavours of this recipe are AMAZING!

Also, you can use fresh or frozen cauli rice to make this recipe, but I like fresh "chunkier" rice to give it more of a crunch!

Here's a list of the ingredients you'll need, but feel free to add anything you think would add flavour to the dish!

- tapicoa flour

1. 1 1/2 lb of raw shrimp, chopped (you can sub chicken)

2. 1 tbsp tapioca flour

3. salt n' pepper

4. 1 tbsp olive oil

5. 1 tbsp sesame oil

6. 2 eggs, whisked

7. 1 cup carrots, diced (or 2 medium)

8. 1/2 cup green peas (omit if strict paleo)

9. 1 cup corn (omit if strict paleo)

10. 1 bunch of green onions, thinly sliced

11. Fresh ginger, to taste (I used 1/2 inch sized piece)

12. 6 cups cauliflower rice (I used 1 1/2 bags of this)

13. 1/3 cup GF soy sauce/coconut aminos (I like this one)

INSTRUCTIONS

for the fried rice

1. Have all veggies chopped and ready before cooking!

2. In a small bowl, add chopped shrimp, add in 1 tbsp tapicoa flour and salt n' pepper!

3. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a skillet and heat to medium

4. Add shrimp and cook for 3 min

5. Add in all the veggies and cook for ~ 4 min on medium heat

6. Once veggies are tender, add in sesame oil, ginger, cauliflower rice and soy sauce/

7. Cook of medium heat for 5 min, then add in whisked egg. I find that pouring in the whisked egg then waiting a minute works better than mixing the egg in right away!

10. Enjoy!
