Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Chef’s Insight

Use a high-smoke point oil, like avocado or peanut oil, for frying the vegetables to avoid any off-flavors.

Cultural or Historical Background

The combination of shrimp and vegetables is inspired by classic Chinese stir-fry dishes, while the use of cauliflower rice adds a modern twist suitable for Keto diets.
