Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp peeled, deveined
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup coconut Amino divided
  • 4 eggs whisked
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 bunch green onions white and green parts separated thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup pineapple diced
  • ½ cup green peas
  • 6 cups cauliflower rice fresh or frozen
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rice Cauliflower or buy frozen cauliflower rice.  To rice, cut cauliflower into medium florets and pluse in a food processor until you get the texture you are looking for. 
  • Peel and deveined shrimp and put into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut amino, and rice vinegar.  Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
  • Prep all of your veggies. Heat a large skillet or wok and add sesame oil. Add in the white part of the green onions, garlic, ginger and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Add in diced carrots and bell peppers and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften. Lay in the shrimp and diced pineapple, and cook just until the shrimp turns pink.
  • Add in frozen peas, eggs, and cauliflower rice. Cook over a medium-high heat until the cauliflower rice is hot to the touch. Season to taste with salt, pepper, coconut aminos, and spicy chili oil.

Notes

  • Swap out shrimp for other proteins like chicken, pork, beef, and even tofu. 
  • Divide into meal prep containers for a healthy lunch. To reheat, place a damp paper towel on top and microwave at 70% power for 2-3 minutes or until hot. 
  • You can use store-bought fresh or frozen cauliflower rice. 
  • For homemade cauliflower rice, place florets into a food processor and pulse 8-10 times, or until it has a rice-like look.
