- 16 oz cauliflower rice
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 oz smoked sausage diced
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 4 oz peeled shrimp from about 6 oz whole
- 2 oz onions diced
- 2 oz corn
- 4 oz carrots diced
- 4 oz green peas
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp scallion sliced
- 1 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 4 oz cashews toasted
- 2 oz leek sliced on a bias
Mix the cauliflower with 2 medium eggs in a bowl.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the 2 oz smoked sliced sausage. Cook for 1 minute or until they’re slightly charred.
Add the 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, and 1 tbsp garlic straight to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add 4 oz shrimp and cook for another minute. Remember to stir so all sides of the shrimp cook evenly.
Add 2 oz onions, 2 oz corn, 4 oz carrots, 4 oz green peas and spread them out in the pan. Leave them to cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower rice and stir occasionally (every 30 seconds or so). Cook them for 5 minutes.
Add 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 2 tbsp scallion, and 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce. Stir well to work everything in and cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the 4 oz cashews.
Serve: plate the rice, garnish with the 2 oz sliced leek, and enjoy.
