Ingredients

  • One medium head cauliflower (or bag riced cauliflower)
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and tail removed
  • ¼ medium onion, diced
  • 1.5 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 eggs
  • Soy sauce or gluten free tamari, to taste
  • Crushed red pepper, to taste
  • Four green onions, chopped
  • canola oil
  • sesame oil (optional, but recommended)

Instructions

  • If using whole cauliflower, remove cauliflower leaves and stem and chop into large chunks.
  • Add cauliflower to food processor and pulse until "riced." (Be careful not to over-process, because then you'll end up with cauliflower puree.)
  • Meanwhile, add a little canola oil to a large skillet and heat on medium until glistening.
  • Add onion and saute until it begins to brown.
  • Add shrimp, garlic, and broccoli florets and saute over medium heat for about five minutes until shrimp are bright pink and broccoli is bright green, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove shrimp & broccoli to separate bowl.
  • Add more oil to pan, along with a dash of sesame oil, and heat, then add cauliflower "rice" and spread out and flatten.
  • Cook 5-6 minutes over medium heat to allow the bottom to brown a little, then stir and cook another 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir cauliflower rice, then it move out to the edges of the pan to make a well in the center.
  • Add a tiny bit more oil if necessary.
  • Beat eggs, then add to center of pan to cook.
  • Chop cooked eggs into cauliflower rice, then add shrimp and broccoli back in.
  • Add green onions, then stir insoy sauce and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Serve with a little chili garlic sauce or Sriracha, if desired.

Notes

Go slow when adding the soy sauce, because the shrimp already takes this dish toward the salty side.
