Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Ensure that all ingredients are ready to go. Peel and devein the shrimp, chop the green onions, dice the carrots and onion, and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Use day-old cooked rice for best results. If using freshly cooked rice, let it cool completely before using.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the remaining sesame oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and peas. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the cooked rice and soy sauce. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is heated through and well mixed, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 7

    Season and Serve

    Taste the fried rice and add salt and black pepper as desired. Stir in the chopped green onions and serve hot.
