Okay, this healthy cauliflower fried rice recipe with shrimp is one for the books.

I had to see what everyone was talking about! Cauliflower has been a hot ingredient this past year and I had to know if cauliflower fried rice really tastes as good as they say. Full disclosure: I don’t like plain raw cauliflower so I was very hesitant. I love this healthy cauliflower fried rice recipe because it can be a great side dish or an entree. It’s easy, full of veggies and you can add a variety of lean proteins. And not to mention, it really does taste like the real thing! The cauliflower upgrades the dish from a regular stir-fry.

Pro Tips: Highly recommend adding in regular white rice and combing with cauliflower rice to make it more satisfying and better texture.

When I am in a hurry I use  microwave jasmine rice. 

I prefer to buy the bagged riced cauliflower, it saves time and messy cleanup.

If you haven’t tried fish sauce, it really does complete the recipe! I used extra. Just don’t smell it.
