Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Once heated, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Add 1 more tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, along with red onion. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, then add in carrots, garlic and ginger. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Pour in frozen riced cauliflower and stir to combine. Cook until cauliflower rice is thawed and water is released. Add in peas, coconut aminos and sesame oil, stirring to coat evenly. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until cauliflower bits just begin to get crispy.

Push the mixture aside in the pan, making room in one side of the skillet. Reduce heat to low. Pour in whisked eggs and use a spatula to move the eggs around and scramble. Chop into small bits and fold into the rest of the dish. Return shrimp back to the pan and stir.

Garnish with sliced green onions (optional) and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Cauliflower Rice First 💧
Pat frozen cauliflower rice with paper towels or spread on a sheet pan to evaporate excess moisture before cooking—this prevents steaming and ensures the crispy texture that makes this dish shine.
Cook Shrimp Separately for Perfect Doneness 🦐
Sear shrimp in a separate pan until just cooked through (1-2 minutes per side), then fold in at the end to prevent overcooking and maintain tender, succulent texture.
Bloom Aromatics in Oil First 🧄
Toast minced ginger and garlic in sesame oil for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to unlock their essential oils and create a deeply aromatic base for the entire dish.
Use Coconut Aminos at Two Stages 🥥
Add half the coconut aminos midway through cooking the cauliflower for seasoning, then drizzle the remaining amount at the end for a fresh, layered umami flavor that prevents one-dimensional taste.
Finish with Green Onions Off Heat 🌿
Toss in sliced green onions after removing the pan from heat to preserve their fresh, bright flavor and delicate texture rather than wilting them into the hot dish.
