Make

Toss shrimp with seasoning.
Heat a wok or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add first part of oil and then broccoli to heated oil. Saute broccoli until it turns bright green. Add aminos and then cover with a lid. Steam broccoli, covered, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove lid and add garlic to broccoli. Saute together for 2 minutes more.
Set broccoli aside.
Wipe pan clean and return to medium-high heat. Add second part of oil and then shrimp to heated oil. Using tongs, arrange shrimp in a single layer so they cook more evenly. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until shrimp is golden.
Remove from heat and toss shrimp with sauce, walnuts, and cilantro.
If cauliflower rice was made ahead, reheat in the microwave.
Serve shrimp over broccoli and cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
