Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and ensure the shrimp is peeled and deveined. Dice the carrot, slice the green onions, and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Make sure your jasmine rice is cooked and cooled. It's best to use day-old rice for the best texture in fried rice.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and green peas. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the carrots are tender.

  4. 6

    Add the Eggs

    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.

  5. 7

    Add Rice and Shrimp

    Add the cooked jasmine rice, cooked shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.

  6. 8

    Finish with Green Onions

    Finally, add the sliced green onions and stir-fry for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
