Simplify it by getting frozen shrimp

If you want to make this low carb shrimp fried rice in record time, you should use peeled and deveined shrimp.

I get mine at the freezer section of the meat department. The ones I used in this dish are jumbo shrimp and they come already peeled and deveined. Simply thaw the shrimp in the refrigerator the morning of and you are set to cook up the shrimp when you make dinner.

The Vegetables in Cauliflower Fried Rice

To make this keto shrimp fried rice recipe really simple I like to use frozen vegetables

I reach for a medley of stir-fry vegetables that have asparagus, mushrooms, onions, green beans and zucchini. Try to stay away from frozen vegetables that have lots of carrots, peas or water chestnuts as these are higher in carbs.

Feel free to add additional veggies like fresh mushrooms, green onions or maybe even spinach for color and flavor.

Cauliflower Rice

To keep this dish low carb, we use riced cauliflower instead of white rice.

One cup of cauliflower rice has 1.8 grams net carbs! Once you mix in all of the delicious sauces, seasonings and vegetables you won’t even miss the white rice.

Cauliflower rice is foundational to many keto recipes I love including:
