Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 Small onion
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Carrot
- 3 Green onions
- 300 grams Mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, squid)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble the texture of rice. Set aside.
Finely mince the garlic, dice the onion, and chop the red bell pepper and carrot into small pieces. Slice the green onions and set everything aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed seafood and cook until they're opaque and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the chopped red bell pepper and carrot to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the wok, scrambling them until fully cooked.
Add the cauliflower rice, green onions, and cooked seafood back into the skillet. Stir everything together to combine.
Pour the coconut aminos over the mixture, stirring to ensure everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top before serving.
