Faux Shrimp Fried “Rice”


 “Rice” made from cauliflower. 

Serves 1-2. 
  • 1/2 head cauliflower
  • 1/4 lb. shrimp
  • Olive oil
  • Juice from half a lime
  • 2 Tbsp Gluten free soy sauce
  • Cajun Spices (paprika, cayenne, garlic all to taste) 
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1/2 white onion
  • Green onions for garnish
Peel shrimp and place in a bowl along with 1 Tbsp olive oil, juice from 1/4th of a lime, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, cajun spices, salt and pepper. Mix well and allow to marinate. 
Break up cauliflower head into florets and place into food processor. Pulse food processor 10-15 times for 1-2 seconds each until cauliflower is all broken up into tiny “rice” granules. Place “rice” into microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. This preps it to be stir fried without turning mushy. 
Heat pan with 1 Tbsp olive oil and add diced onion and diced carrots. Allow to cook and soften for 5-7 minutes. Add in shrimp, cooking on each side 2 minutes (if shrimp are not pre cooked they may take longer). 
Finally add in cauliflower, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, and  cajun spices and stir continuously until everything is well mixed and heated through.  Add salt and pepper to taste. 
Squeeze fresh lime and garnish with green onions or cilantro.
