Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. Dice the bell pepper, chop the onion, and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    If you haven't done so already, cook the rice according to package instructions and allow it to cool. It's best to use day-old rice for fried rice recipes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Shrimp

    Add the minced garlic and shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

  3. 5

    Scramble the Eggs

    Push the shrimp and vegetables to one side of the skillet. In the other side, add the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked.

  4. 6

    Combine with Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is well coated with the seasonings and combined with the shrimp and vegetables.

  5. 7

    Finish with Green Onions

    Finally, add the chopped green onions and stir for another minute until everything is heated through.
