Remembering a time before supermarkets started selling already-riced cauliflower just makes us sad. Look for it in the produce section or the freezer aisle. If using frozen, make sure to add a few minutes of extra cooking time.

Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tsp oil and season with the salt and black pepper. Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until firm, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
2
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tsp oil and heat on medium-high. Add the peas and carrots, bacon, and bell pepper and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. If the vegetables are sticking to the pan, add 1 tbsp water.
3
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the egg to the empty side of the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the egg. Stir in the cauliflower, garlic, ginger, and white scallion parts and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and the shrimp with any accumulated juices. Cook until the flavors blend, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often. Garnish with the green scallion parts. Serve with lime wedges and sriracha (if using).
