Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 small carrots, diced
- 2 large eggs
- 8 ounces crab meat
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 lime, juiced
- 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 it reaches a rice-like texture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced green onions, diced red bell pepper, and diced carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty space.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked, incorporating them into the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the vegetable and egg mixture.
Stir in the crab meat, coconut aminos, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the crab is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Finally, sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the fried rice before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30-compliant crab fried rice!
