Shrimp Fried Cauliflower Rice
Anyone else a fan of one-course family dinners? If so, keep reading! This SHRIMP FRIED CAULIFLOWER RICE has been on repeat at my house lately. Not only is it quick to make, but it’s also an easy way to work seafood into the dinner rotation. My kids aren’t huge fish fans, but they love shrimp, so this is a plus for me!
Another thing I love about my shrimp fried cauliflower rice recipe? The longer it sits, the more flavorful it seems to get. This means that leftovers the next day are usually even better than dinner the night before. I also love the lower-carb option of cauliflower rice.
This dinner is ready from start to finish in less than 10 minutes. I recommend the Trader Joe’s Riced Cauliflower Stir-fry pictured below. But you can also use a frozen riced cauliflower blend with stir-fry vegetables (Cascadian Farms has a good one!). Follow the same directions, seasoning with a little garlic, ginger, and soy sauce while cooking, and voilà! Dinner is served!
