Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients and ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. Chop the scallions and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the scrambled eggs.

Fry the Rice

In the same skillet, add the cooked rice and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until heated through. Make sure to break up any clumps of rice.

Combine Ingredients

Add the frozen peas and carrots to the rice, and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes. Then, add the cooked shrimp, scrambled eggs, and chopped scallions back into the skillet.

Season the Fried Rice

Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture, and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Serve

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the shrimp fried rice hot, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
