Instructions

Making Shrimp Fried Cauliflower Rice is simple. Follow these steps to create a delightful meal:

1. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: If using a whole head of cauliflower, cut it into florets and grate it using a food processor or box grater. Alternatively, pre-packaged cauliflower rice is a convenient option.

2. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add garlic and mixed vegetables. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender.

4. Add Cauliflower Rice: Incorporate the cauliflower rice into the skillet with the vegetables and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

5. Push to the Side: Create space in the skillet by pushing the cauliflower rice and vegetables to one side. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble them until fully cooked.

6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet along with soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Stir everything together until well combined.

7. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.

8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and lime wedges if desired. Serve hot.

These straightforward steps guide you in creating a delicious and nutritious meal that your family will love.
