How to cook Boom Boom Shrimp Bowl

  1. Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate. Remove any discolored outer leaves from bok choy and trim ends. Cut stems into 1/4" slices and coarsely chop leaves.

Working in batches, place a large pan over medium-high heat and add (divided) coconut oil. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook undistrubed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until shrimp cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Wipe pan clean and reserve.
  4. Cook cauliflower rice according to directions. Stir in edamame and coconut aminos until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner. Set aside.
  5. Return pan used to cook shrimp to medium-high heat and add another tablespoon coconut oil. Add bok choy (stems and leaves), along with white portions of green onions, to hot pan and stir occasionally until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. Remove from burner.
  6. Plate dish by topping cauliflower rice with vegetables and shrimp. Drizzle boom boom sauce over bowl and garnish with green portions of green onions.
