Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower or
- 6 cups cauliflower rice
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari coconut aminos, or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon fresh ginger* grated
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 bunch of green onions chopped, whites separated from greens
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ cup carrots cubed
- 3 eggs beaten
- ½ pound Shrimp thawed, peeled, and deveined
Instructions
- Chop the cauliflower into smaller florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse to finely chop until it resembles rice, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes, and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, over medium-high heat, heat up the sesame oil. Add in the onion whites and sauté for about a minute.
- Add the frozen peas and carrots, stir, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until heated through. Move the veggies to one side of the wok and add in the whisked eggs. Cook the eggs on the empty side of the pan, stirring with a spatula until cooked through. Add the shrimp, and cook, for about 2 minutes until they've turned pink.
- Add in the riced cauliflower and stir to combine. Pour the tamari sauce mixture over the top, stir, and cook for an additional 4 minutes, until the cauliflower has softened but has an "al dente" texture.
- Turn off the heat, sprinkle green onions over the fried rice, cover for a minute to soften, and serve.

Notes
- If using ground ginger powder, use ⅛ of a teaspoon.
- Make this recipe ketogenic by omitting the honey and using a honey-substitute. Swap the green peas and carrots for a higher fiber vegetable like broccoli (1 cup total, finely chopped) and you'll drastically reduce the sugar and carbohydrate content.
