Ingredients

¼ cup Sesame oil, divided

2 Large eggs, lightly beaten

3 cups Riced cauliflower

1 pound Large shrimp (31–35 count), peeled and deveined

3 cups Broccoli florets

1 Medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

3 cloves Garlic cloves, sliced

3 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari

2 tablespoons Water

1 tablespoon Rice vinegar

½ teaspoon Ground pepper

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and ground pepper. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through, breaking them into bite-sized pieces, about 2 minutes. Transfer the cooked eggs to a clean plate.
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the same wok. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until pink and opaque throughout, about 4–5 minutes (shrimp should reach 160°F internal temperature). Transfer the shrimp to the plate with the eggs.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the wok. Stir in the sliced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the riced cauliflower and broccoli florets to the wok, stirring constantly, and cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes, mixing gently.
Return the cooked shrimp and eggs to the wok along with the reserved sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 1 minute. Divide among serving bowls and serve immediately.

Shrimp and cauliflower are both readily available at every Charlotte chain, and this dish costs roughly $2.50 to $3.00 per serving, driven mainly by the shrimp; the rest are ordinary staples. The 25-minute claim is honest if you're using pre-riced cauliflower and pre-cooked shrimp, but if you're ricing raw cauliflower and defrosting frozen shrimp, add 10 minutes—a meaningful gap for a weeknight. This is a reliable family dish that reheats decently in the microwave or a skillet, though the vegetables will soften slightly on the second day. Seasonality is good: coastal North Carolina shrimp is in play, cauliflower stores well, and it's versatile year-round.
