Ingredients for Cauliflower Ficed Rice with Curried Shrimp:
- 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Kosher salt
- 2 tsp. curry powder
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 3 scallions, sliced thin (separate green and white parts)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen riced cauliflower, thawed
- Sliced Persian cucumber, mango chutney, plain yogurt, and lime wedges for serving
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Searing the Shrimp Lightly season the shrimp with salt and toss with 1 tsp of curry powder. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook the shrimp until the edges are browned, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Plate the shrimp.
Step 2: Preparing the Fried Rice Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Sauté onions and the white parts of scallions until soft and lightly browned (about 3 minutes). Stir in almonds, ginger, garlic, and the remaining curry powder. Cook for an additional minute until the almonds are toasted. Add white rice, riced cauliflower, and 1/2 tsp salt. Break up any clumps while tossing. Toast the almonds for about 3 minutes. Incorporate the cooked shrimp and toss until warmed through (approximately 1 minute). Season with salt.
Step 3: Serving Divide the fried rice and shrimp evenly into bowls. Serve with sliced cucumbers, plain yogurt, mango chutney, lime wedges, and sprinkle with green scallions. Enjoy this delicious tribute to savory Indian pulaos! (NOTE: Pulao is India’s dish of festivity.)
Serve over additional riced cauliflower or spiral fresh zucchini for KETO.
Serve over Rice if not concerned about the additional Carbs.
