Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup zucchini, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and pour the whisked eggs onto the empty side. Scramble the eggs, cooking until just set, and then stir them into the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is heated through.
Drizzle the sesame oil and coconut aminos over the mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and mix to combine. Allow everything to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
Garnish with the sliced green onions before serving.
