Healthy "FRIED" Rice

When you are craving Chinese, you figure it out with what you have in the house so you don't feel guilty afterwards. This was perfect for my craving!! 

All my items happened to be Trader Joe's brand. And this was for 1 person...yeah, all of that food, just for little old me. 

What You Need:

6 Red Argentinian Shrimp (or shrimp of your choice) 
1 Large Egg
1/4 Cup Frozen Peas (optional)
1/4 Cup Brown Rice
1/2 Cup Frozen Cauliflower Rice
1/2 Cup Carrots (I used carrot spirals because that is what I had on hand) 
Coconut Aminos (about 1/2 tbsp)
Low Sodium Soy Sauce (1 tsp) 
Sesame Oil (I did not use it, but about 1/4 tsp would be good)
Ginger, to taste (optional) 
Scallions, 1 heaping tbsp (I totally forgot these and was sad)

Preparation: 

1. Microwave rice. Set aside. 
2. While that is cooking, get shrimp into small pan to sauté, it will just be thrown on top of rice when you are done.
3. In another pan, heat 1 tsp olive oil. Add peas, carrots and cauliflower rice, cook until heated all the way through. 
4. Push veggies to the side, crack an egg in same pan and cook.
5. Add rice to pan and mix all ingredients.
6. Add in sauces. Stir. 
7. Pour veggie and rice mix onto plate, top w/ shrimp and scallions.
8. Inhale. 

Note: If you are doing ginger and/or sesame oil, I would put that in the pan when you would do olive oil in step 3 (so no olive oil, use sesame oil in its place).

The carrot spirals were sweet than regular chopped carrots but I did not care, this meal totally kicked my craving in the ass and made my tummy happy at the same time!
