Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or sesame oil for added flavor)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
- Optional: Chili flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive or sesame oil. Add cauliflower rice, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the bell peppers, snap peas, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant.
- Combine and Glaze: Return the shrimp to the skillet, pour in the soy sauce, and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve: Plate the cauliflower rice as a base, top with the shrimp and vegetable stir-fry, and garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or chili flakes if desired. Enjoy immediately.
