Begin by preparing your ingredients: rice the cauliflower, slice the shallots, mince the garlic, chop the chilies and green onions, and dice the tomatoes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and chopped chilies to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the shallots are translucent and the mixture is fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are pink and opaque.
Remove the chicken and shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Once heated, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble for about 2 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
To the pan, add the riced cauliflower and sauté for 5 minutes until tender.
Add the diced tomatoes, fish sauce, and coconut aminos. Stir well to combine.
Return the chicken, shrimp, and scrambled eggs to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix everything thoroughly.
Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes to combine all the flavors.
Stir in chopped green onions and fresh cilantro just before turning off the heat.
Serve your Paleo Nasi Goreng Kampung hot with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
