  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1/2 lb. or 12 large raw shrimp tail removed and defrosted if using frozen
  • 1/2 teaspoon chinese five spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice or 1 small head of cauliflower grated
  • 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables corn, green beans, green peas, carrots
  • 3 tablespoons tamari
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 large eggs
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

  • In a large pot, heat the sesame oil on medium. Add the garlic, ginger and onions and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp, chinese five spice, dried chilli and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring continuously until the shrimp is mostly pink and opaque.
