Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower or 6 cups cauliflower rice
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup carrots, diced
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • ½ pound shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined

Instructions

  1. If using whole cauliflower, chop into chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse to finely chop until it resembles rice; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger and red pepper flakes; set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, over medium-high heat, heat sesame oil. Add in green onions and sauté for about a minute. Add frozen peas and carrots, stir and cook for about two minutes. Move veggies to one side of the wok and add in beaten eggs. Cook eggs on one side of the pan, moving the mixture around as it cooks until cooked through. Add shrimp and cook for about two minutes until they’ve turned pink.
  4. Add in riced cauliflower and stir to combine. Pour the sauce mixture over the top, making sure to distribute evenly throughout and cook for an additional four minutes until cauliflower has softened.
  5. Turn off heat, cover for a minute to soften, and serve.

Make this recipe keto friendly by omitting the honey. Swap the green peas and carrots for a higher fiber vegetable like broccoli (1 cup, finely chopped) and you’ll reduce the sugar and carbohydrate content.
