Cauliflower Shrimp Fried Rice

Cauliflower Shrimp Fried Rice – A healthy version of a Chinese take-out favorite! Ready in minutes and you don’t have to feel any guilt about fried rice again!

Asian food is one of our favorites, but when you get take out it can be so bad for you! High in fat, calories, and who knows what is in all that stuff. But making your own take out at home is so darn easy!

You can make everything from Hot & Sour Soup to start out, and then Cashew Chicken and this fried rice to go with it. So many options that are easy to make at home.

To make this classic take out even better for you I am using cauliflower rice. Cauliflower rice is all the rage right now for people trying to eat low carb, keto, or just cut calories. And let me be honest with you – if it is not covered in a sauce or flavored well like this, I am not a fan. It is not a straight substitute for me. But if you load it up with other stuff, then I am all for it!

And if you really can’t make yourself do cauliflower rice, just sub plain white rice and follow the same recipe!

What’s In Shrimp Fried Rice

• Olive Oil
• Sesame Oil
• Shrimps
• Eggs
• Cauliflower Rice (can sub plain white rice)
• Soy Sauce
• Black Pepper
• Green Onions

How To Make Shrimp Fried Rice

1. The first thing to do is cook the shrimp. Heat a little oil in a large skillet and cook the shrimp for 3-5 minutes until it is pink and opaque. Remove from pan and keep it warm.
2. Return the pan to heat and add the beaten eggs. Stir to scramble until eggs are cooked. Remove them from the pan and set aside until you are ready to assemble everything.
3. Return the pan to the heat and add the last bit of oil to the pan. Add cauliflower rice to the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender. You can use cooked white rice for this instead if you want, same amounts and instructions apply.
4. Mix in soy sauce, sesame oil and black pepper stirring to coat. Add shrimp and eggs to the pan, cooking until everything is hot.
5. Serve immediately topped with green onions.

The guys in my family are not cauliflower fans of any kind. Normally they can smell it cooking a mile away and know something is up. With this they had no idea. The texture is different than traditional white rice, so you know it isn’t rice, but you can’t taste that it is cauliflower. So if you have picky eaters like I do, this is a must try!

Plus this fried rice is ready in no time, so it is great for busy weeknights. Mix up the shrimp with whatever your favorite is. Chicken, Pork, more veggies….you name it!
