Method

Instructions
  1. Start by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for about 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, pour in the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing for about 1–2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the mixed vegetables and let them cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  6. Toss the riced cauliflower into the skillet, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  7. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
  8. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Pour in soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm.
