High Volume Shrimp Fried Rice

Classic shrimp fried rice is delicious but usually loaded with oil and calories that don’t keep you full. This version? It’s light, satisfying, and high in volume, meaning you can eat a lot and still stay on track.

We bulk it up with cauliflower rice, toss in a sensible amount of jasmine rice for chew, and rely on frozen mixed veggies for ease and fiber. Add juicy shrimp and fluffy egg whites for protein, and you’ve got a 300-calorie powerhouse that feels like comfort food.

Ingredients

• 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 4 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)

• 1½ cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old preferred)

• 1½ cups egg whites

• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans, etc.)

• ½ cup chopped scallions (green and white parts)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tsp sesame oil

• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos

• 1 tsp rice vinegar

• Nonstick cooking spray

• Chili flakes or black pepper (to taste)

🔪 Instructions

1. Cook the shrimp:
   Spray a large nonstick pan or wok with cooking spray. Heat to medium-high. Add shrimp, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook 1–2 minutes per side or until pink. Remove and set aside.

2. Scramble the egg whites:
   Spray the pan again and reduce heat to medium. Add egg whites, scramble gently until cooked, then remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry the veggies:
   Add sesame oil and garlic to the pan. Stir for 30 seconds, then add frozen veggies. Cook 3–5 minutes until tender.

4. Add the rice:
   Stir in cauliflower rice and jasmine rice. Let cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is hot and a little crisp.

5. Season it up:
   Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallions, and a pinch of chili flakes or pepper. Mix well.

6. Finish it off:
   Return shrimp and egg whites to the pan. Toss everything together until warmed through and evenly combined.

7. Serve hot — this makes four generous, satisfying portions.

🥢 Tips & Ideas

• Meal prep hack: Portion into containers and store for up to 4 days. Reheats great in the microwave or skillet.

• Make it extra-low carb: Skip the jasmine rice entirely and add an extra cup of cauliflower rice.

• Customize it: Toss in fresh ginger, sriracha, or lime juice for added kick.
