Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams prawns
- 1 medium cauliflower head
- 2 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until they reach the size of rice grains. Set aside.
Peel and devein the prawns, if necessary, and pat them dry with paper towels.
Chop green onions and separate the white parts from the green ends. Mince the garlic cloves and dice the red bell pepper.
In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic, the whites of the green onions, and the diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, crack the eggs in and scramble them. Once cooked, mix them with the sautéed vegetables.
Add the riced cauliflower and frozen peas to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Add the cooked prawns back into the pan. Stir everything well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and garnish with the green ends of the chopped green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly prawn fried rice!
