Egg and shrimp fried cauli-rice

It's been a while since I put up a recipe so I figured it was time. This is another paleo recipe, but I really enjoy it anyway and it certainly isn't hurting anything by having it. 

Cauliflower is a big thing in the paleo world since it can replace a lot of other thing. Here, it replaces rice. It also makes fake mashed potatoes and pizza crusts. It's a pretty great little liar. 

This take on egg fried rice is super simple, delicious and customizable. 

To replicate mine, you will need:

Carrot

Zucchini 

Mushroom

Red pepper

Garlic

Cooked shrimp

Egg

Coconut oil or ghee

Soy sauce

Worcestershire sauce 

Salt and pepper

Cauliflower (fresh is best, but frozen works too)

Start by putting your cauliflower in a food processor. I used about 1/3 of a head. You don't want to purée it, just blitz it until it is shredded into rice-like bits. 

Dump it onto a towel  and give it a little squish to wring some of the water from it. Let it sit. 

If you use frozen cauliflower it will need more time to dry out. 

Chop up all the vegetable. You can use as much or as little as you'd like based on how much "rice" you make. 

Warm up a pan on medium with a bit of oil. I used coconut, but ghee is good too. If you don't need the recipe to be paleo, use butter or any other cooking oil you like. Just a splash. 

Once it's hot add in the vegetables and let them soften up and get delicious. 

Add the cauliflower. Let this all go for a few minutes, stir it around so it doesn't burn though. Add in some extra flavour now. Soy, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. 

When everything is soft and warm make a well in the centre and crack your egg into it. Let it fry a bit before mixing everything together again. 

Lastly, add in the shrimp. I buy mine fully cooked so I just have to let them get warm enough. 

And that's that. Now it's time to eat. Remember, customizing is the best. If you prefer chicken or shrimp, great! Want onions too? That's gross, but enjoy! Don't like mushrooms? Leave them out. Make it to your taste and enjoy it!
