Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Cauliflower Rice (Whole30/Paleo)

This recipe has to be one of my absolute favorite Whole30 recipes!! One reason is because it is full of delicious flavor that makes your forget that you are eating cauliflower rice. Another is because it is a one-pot meal and I love a one-pot meal because it means less dishes.

You do not have to serve the cauliflower rice in the pineapple boats. I just did that because I was feeling fancy. It taste equally delicious eaten out of a regular bowl. But if you do want to make them, here is how I did it.

How to make Pineapple Boats

  1. Use a sharp chef’s knife to halve the pineapple lengthwise, including the crown. You want to make sure that the crown is still attached.
  2. With the pineapple halves flesh side up, use a smaller knife to score the pineapple. Use a spoon to scoop out the pineapple, leaving about 1/4 of the flesh around the perimeter.
  3. If core is difficult to scoop out, use a knife to cut it out.

5 from 3 votes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 2 cups of fresh pineapple, diced (canned works well too)
  • 2 tbsp of avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup of coconut aminos (I used The New Primal)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry cauliflower thoroughly and remove greens. Cut cauliflower into four pieces and use a box grater to grate the cauliflower, using the large blades. You would grate this just like you would grate cheese. The cauliflower should resemble rice. 
  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Once oil is warm, add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Once shrimp is no longer translucent, transfer to a place and set aside.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil and sesame oil to pan and heat. Add green onions and garlic to pan and cook for about 1 minute. Next, add riced cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes, or until cauliflower rice has softened. 
  • Add coconut aminos to rice and cook four about 1 minute.
  • Next, add pineapple and shrimp to cauliflower and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve!
