Shrimp Fried Cauliflower “Rice”

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 cup white onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
8oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)**see note below
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 cup peas
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cups cooked cauliflower (mashed/riced/finely chopped)**see note below
2 eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Heat a wok or large pan over medium-high heat.  Melt the coconut oil and add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions start to soften. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute.
2. Add the carrot, peas and bell pepper to the pan.  Cook for 3-4 minutes, and then stir in the cooked cauliflower. Clear a circle in the center of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs.  Stir to scramble the eggs and then combine with the other ingredients.  Season with salt and pepper (and other seasonings if desired) to taste.

Notes:

1. To cook the cauliflower, you can steam the cauliflower in a pot on the stove or in a covered casserole dish (add some water) in the microwave until soft.
2. When I make this dish I double or triple the amount of shrimp and and vegetables (peas and carrots).  You could also add in some bean sprouts
