Shrimp Fried "Rice"

This is my favorite dinner! (Or lunch for that matter) It has topped the list over Stage 1 Chili - a very difficult thing indeed. This version has chicken instead of the shrimp (because it's what I had) but the profile barely changes. It's supper easy to prepare and he list of ingredients can be shortened to include just whatever you have on hand.

Left overs taste even better than the original dish (the mark of a truly fantastic dish in my opinion) Supper filling, low carb, low fat, high protein and delicious! What more could a Fit Foodie ask for?!

Makes 3 portions (and boy are they big!)

Ingredients:

• 1Tablespoon Canola Oil
• dash of Sesame or Chili Oil
• 2 teaspoons turmeric, curry powder, or cumin (your choice)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder, chipotle chili powder, or paprika (once again your choice)
• 4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped finely or pressed (I loooove garlic, good thing all my friends do too!)
• Combination of veggies: 1-2 bell peppers, cored & sliced thin; 1-2 carrots cut into matchsticks; 1 zucchini (courgette) cut into matchsticks; 1 yellow (summer) squash cut into matchsticks, handful of corn, spring onions (scallions)
• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 500g shrimp or 400g chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
• 2 whole eggs
• 4 egg whites
• dash of chili sauce or soy sauce (my favorite is Louisiana Hot Sauce)
• Spelt-Sunflower Tofu patty, broken into ground-meat-like pieces (optional, this is available here in Dublin but I don't know about the US)

Directions:

1. Process the cauliflower through the coarse grading plate of a food processor, or grade by hand to create the "rice"
2. Heat the oils over a med-high heat
3. Add spices and garlic to infuse the oil with flavor, stir-fry for 30 seconds or so
4. Add shrimp or chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through
5. Add vegetables (except spring onions), stir-fry until crisp tender, about 5 min
6. Make a well in the middle of the vegetables and add the eggs & egg whites to the pan, scramble them into the mix
7. Add the cauliflower rice, toss thoroughly with the mixture
8. Add the chili sauce &/or soy sauce, toss
9. Add the spring onions just before serving

Eat HOT!! Left overs can be heated in the microwave but if the dish is a little bit wet drain off liquid before heating.
