Method

Preparation

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather and prepare all ingredients. Ensure the shrimp is peeled and deveined, vegetables are diced, and the rice is cooked and cooled.

Cooking

Cook the Eggs

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic, diced carrots, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Combine Rice and Ingredients

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and let it heat through for about 2 minutes.

Add Shrimp and Seasonings

Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Finish with Green Onions

Finally, add the chopped green onions and stir to combine. Remove from heat and serve hot.
