3 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp arrowroot starch
½ tsp red pepper flakes

For the shrimp

1 ½ lbs large shrimp (21–25 count), peeled and deveined
½ tsp salt

1 tbsp avocado oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

For the stir-fry

Instructions

1
Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor (or grate on the large holes of a box grater) until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 pulses. Spread on a clean kitchen towel and press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible — dry cauliflower rice will char rather than steam.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, arrowroot starch, and red pepper flakes until the starch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
