Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Peel and devein the jumbo shrimp. Chop the bell pepper and onion into small dice. Slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    If you haven't done so already, cook the rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely; day-old rice is best for fried rice.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the jumbo shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

  4. 6

    Scramble the Eggs

    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked, about 2 minutes.

  5. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet along with the cooked shrimp and the white parts of the scallions. Stir everything together.

  6. 8

    Season the Rice

    Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir-fry everything together for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.

  7. 9

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the green parts of the scallions. Serve hot.
