Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 units lobster tails
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 4 stalks green onions
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 unit lime
Instructions
Begin by preparing your cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into manageable florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Set aside.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add lobster tails and cook for about 6-8 minutes until they turn bright red and are cooked through. Remove from the pot, let them cool slightly, then carefully shell and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, and scramble them until they are fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of coconut oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the thinly sliced carrot and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry these vegetables until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower rice into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the cauliflower is tender.
Add the cooked scrambled eggs, chopped lobster meat, and half of the sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the coconut aminos, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat, and sprinkle the remaining green onions and chopped cilantro over the dish.
Serve the lobster cauliflower fried rice hot, garnished with lime wedges for a zesty finish.
