Honey Garlic Shrimp, Sausage & Broccoli Cauliflower Rice Bowls: A Low-Carb, Keto-Friendly Delight


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 8 oz (225g) smoked sausage (sliced into rounds, keto-friendly)
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for keto-friendly version)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or sugar-free keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice

If you’re using store-bought cauliflower rice, simply set it aside. If you’re making it from scratch, follow these steps:

  • Take a medium-sized cauliflower head, remove the leaves, and cut it into florets.
  • Pulse the florets in a food processor until they resemble grains of rice. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Broccoli

In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli becomes tender but still crisp. You want the broccoli to have a nice bite to it, so avoid overcooking. Once done, remove the broccoli from the pan and set it aside with the sausage.

Step 4: Cook the Shrimp

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Once done, remove them from the pan and set them aside with the sausage and broccoli.

Step 5: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), honey (or keto-friendly sweetener), sesame oil, and lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes sticky.

Step 6: Cook the Cauliflower Rice

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the honey garlic sauce. Cook the cauliflower rice for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes tender and absorbs the flavors of the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7: Combine and Serve

Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, add the sausage, broccoli, and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients in the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure everything is heated through and well combined.
