Sautéed Shrimp with Cauliflower Rice and Stir-Fried Bok Choy
15 min 4 servings
A light, Asian-fusion dinner featuring high-protein shrimp paired with low-carb cauliflower rice and nutrient-dense bok choy.
Ingredients
- 500 g cauliflower
- 170 g shrimp
- 1 g salt
- 0.5 g black pepper
- 400 g bok choy
- 10 g garlic
- 10 g ginger
- 15 ml olive oil
- 15 ml tamari sauce
- 20 g green onions
Instructions
- 1Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains, about 1-2 minutes, ensuring not to over-process into a puree.
- 2Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then lightly season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor before cooking.
- 3Rinse the bok choy thoroughly, trim the ends, and separate the leaves, cutting larger leaves in half lengthwise for even cooking.
- 4Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger using a microplane or fine grater to release maximum flavor for sautéing.
- 5Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat at 160°C, add the cauliflower rice, and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly tender and lightly golden.
- 6In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat at 180°C, add the shrimp in a single layer, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque with a slight golden crust.
- 7In the skillet used for cauliflower rice, add a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat at 180°C, toss in the bok choy, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the leaves wilt and stems are tender-crisp with bright green color.
- 8Lower the heat to medium at 160°C in the shrimp skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then drizzle with tamari sauce and toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
- 9Combine the shrimp with the cauliflower rice in the larger skillet, mix well over low heat for 1 minute to meld flavors, then turn off the heat and sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
