Why You Will Love This Recipe:
- It’s so easy to make and so fast, a perfect meal for any night of the week.
- This shrimp fried cauliflower rice is absolutely delicious and much lower carb than traditional takeout fried rice.
- You can easily customize it to your preferences – try chicken or use different veggies!

What You Need:
- Shrimp – I get mine from ButcherBox
- Frozen Cauliflower Rice
- Frozen Mixed Veggies – I used a mix of green peas, corn, carrots and green beans
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Soy Sauce (use Tamari or Coconut Aminos to keep it gluten free)
- Sesame Oil
- Eggs
- Green Onion
- Salt, Pepper & Garlic Powder

Recipe Tips:
One of the key tips for this recipe is to cook the excess liquid out of the cauliflower rice. When done right, it can be light and fluffy instead of soggy.
It is also important not to overlook the shrimp. Shrimp get rubbery when cooked for too long. They truly only take a few minutes a side and they are perfectly tender and juicy!
If you want to use chicken instead, I recommend cubing chicken thighs and cooking them in place of the shrimp. It will take a little longer, make sure they are cooked to an internal temperature of 165’F.
