How to make Keto Fried Rice With Japanese Shrimp Sauce: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Gather and measure all the ingredients.
- Thinly slice the green onions and thaw the frozen peas and carrots.
- If using fresh cauliflower, grate or process it into rice-like pieces. If using pre-packaged cauliflower rice, measure out 12 ounces.
Cooking instructions
Make Japanese shrimp sauce
- Mix the mayonnaise, butter, ketchup, and granulated swerve in a small jar.
- Toss in paprika, garlic powder, and salt to taste, and stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Gradually add some water to the sauce while stirring until you reach your desired consistency.
- Then, cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.
Prepare fried cauliflower rice
- Heat 3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a 10.5" cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the hot skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to crisp.
- Toss in the peas and carrots, stir, and push the mixture to one side of the skillet.
- Onto the other side, crack a large egg and scramble until cooked. Then, mix it in with the rice.
- Next, pour the tamari over the mixture. Add the thinly sliced green onions and season with salt to taste.
- Then, stir everything and cook just until heated through. Remove from heat and serve the fried rice warm with the shrimp sauce.

Chef's pro tip
Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the cauliflower rice. Also, resist the temptation to stir the rice too often. You have to let it sit for a minute or two between stirs to make it brown and crisp.
