Ingredients
- 8 slices Bacon, Diced
- ½ Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 teaspoons Ginger, Minced (or Ginger Paste)
- 1 pound Large Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
- 3 cups Steamed Cauliflower Rice
- 2 Large Eggs (scrambled)
- 1-½ Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- ½ teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 3 Scallions, Thinly Sliced
Preparation
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Reduce heat to medium, add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, saute for one minute more.
Push bacon and onion mixture to one side of the pan, and add shrimp to the skillet. Cook shrimp on both sides until thoroughly cooked.
Add steamed cauliflower rice, scrambled eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil and scallions. Toss to combine, and serve.
Notes:
• For the nutrition calculations of the recipe, I used 1/2 cup of onion, thick sliced bacon (wright brand), and large shrimp. Also, I assumed 3 tablespoons of bacon grease remained in the pan.
• For the steamed cauliflower rice, you can use already riced cauliflower in the frozen section (my favorite), or you can use my recipe that I have here.
• I am a huge fan of the shortcut ingredient ginger paste. You can find it in the produce section of most grocery stores.
