Fresh shrimp offers the best taste, but frozen shrimp works well too—just be sure to thaw completely. Peeled shrimp can save prep time.
Prepping Cauliflower Rice
New to cauliflower rice? Use a food processor or grab pre-packaged cauliflower rice to save time.
Stir Fry Technique
Heat your wok or skillet until very hot. Start with sesame oil, then sauté garlic and ginger to build flavor. Add shrimp, cooking 2 minutes per side until just opaque. Toss in bell peppers and broccoli for a vibrant veggie boost. Finally, stir in cauliflower rice and soy sauce, cooking until everything is well combined and heated through.
