This Keto Fried Rice is totally delicious with our Japanese Shrimp Sauce! The perfect low-carb takeout inspired recipe!
So this post is actually a 2 for 1 kind of deal, you’ll find both recipes, Keto Fried Rice and Keto Shrimp Sauce (both 5-ingredients) below, and just to be completely open and honest – when I say I “drizzled a little” shrimp sauce on top, smothered may have been a more fitting description.
I love to serve some chicken thighs marinated in tamari and swerve right on top but feel free to pair this with your favorite Asian inspired protein, or just have it by itself. It’s delicious either way. My favorite part of this recipe (and every fried rice recipe for that matter) is the egg.
Back in my college days, I was known to make fried rice omelets with leftover fried rice from the Japanese place across from campus. That recipe is in no way shape or form keto, but just FYI it is an extraordinarily effective hangover cure.

Yes! Serve smaller portions along with your entree. Try this Keto Mongolian Beef and Broccoli!
