Smokey's Low-Carb Shrimpy (Cauliflower) Fried Rice

We're keeping with our Asian theme from the last two weeks, until our Asian Food cravings subside. 😏

We've been meaning to simulate fried rice and finally decided to create our dish.

Instead of using grains of rice, we decided to try our hands with Cauliflower.  Since we don't have a food processor, the cutting of the Cauliflower did take us about 10 minutes. 

Maybe, Santa will buy us a food processor shortly, which would decrease our preparation time.  😆 

Our Shrimp Fried Rice actually tastes JUST like rice!  The onions, Sesame Oil, and Soy Sauce seemed to have tricked our tastes buds into thinking our cauliflower was rice.

Our preparation time was 15 minutes, while our cooking time was another 12-15 minutes.

The ingredients used this week include:

• 4 Tbsp. Sesame Oil
• 3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
• 2 Cups of Cooked and Tailed Shrimp
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Head of Cauliflower
• 1 Chopped Onion
• 1 Large Can of Mushroom
• 1 Tbsp. Chives (more if desired)
• 1 tsp. Minced Garlic
• 1/2 tsp. Ground Pepper

We'll begin by cutting and coring our cauliflower.  

Since we don't have a food processor, this was the longest part of the recipe, especially, since we tried to cut our cauliflower down to "rice-sized" pieces.

We'll then, place our cauliflower aside and will next, chop our onions with our One Second Slicer, which we purchased at Amazon.com.

We LOVE this One Second Slicer. My mom bought us one, years ago and we haven't used a knife to cut our vegetables since. 

This slicer saves us so much time and is just the best cutting tool!

We'll now, warm 2 Tbsp. of our Sesame Oil in our pan on medium heat.

We'll then, add our onions, garlic, will cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until our onions are translucent.

Next, we'll beat our eggs and will add to our onion mixture.

We'll then, scramble our eggs, by stirring frequently, from one side of the pan to the other, and will place aside.

Next, we'll add the remaining 2 Tbsp. of Sesame Oil, cauliflower, shrimp, mushrooms, Soy Sauce, chives, and pepper to our pan, will stir, cover, and cook on medium high heat for another 5 minutes.

We would like our Cauliflower to be softened, but not mushy. 

So, by cooking on medium high heat for only 5 minutes, our cauliflower should merely steam, instead of fully cooking.

We'll now stir our cauliflower mixture, add our egg and onions, and will once again stir until all of our ingredients have been fully blended.

Voila!!

Our Cauliflower Shrimp Fried Rice is ready to be devoured!

It's amazing how our cauliflower can mimic the scent and flavor of  actual fried rice!

Our neighbor claimed to have smelled our Fried Rice cooking, and came over for a visit to have a taste.  She also loved our new dish and also stated how our cauliflower tasted like rice.  

We hope you're like our neighbor and will also enjoy our "Fried Rice."

From our kitchen to yours ~

Enjoy!!
