  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined raw shrimp, seasoning with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry shrimp for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.

  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups grated cauliflower rice, 1 cup pineapple chunks, and 1 diced medium red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and cauliflower rice is heated through.
  4. Step 4: Return cooked shrimp to the pan along with 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 3 chopped green onions, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until well combined and heated through. Serve immediately.
