Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

Rice Dishes

1. 1

   Prep and Mise en Place

   Thaw the shrimp if frozen and pat dry. Gather all ingredients, whisk the eggs, mince the garlic, chop the green onions, and ensure the rice is cold and separated to avoid clumps.

2. 2

   Scramble Eggs

   Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set, then transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Cook Shrimp

   In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and the shrimp. Sauté until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside with the eggs.

4. 4

   Stir-Fry Vegetables

   Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add carrots and peas and stir-fry 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Stir in minced garlic (if not already added) and cook for another 30 seconds. Add chopped green onions and toss.

5. 5

   Add Rice and Sauces

   Add the cold rice to the pan. Break apart any clumps with a spatula and stir-fry 3-4 minutes until heated through. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce, tossing to coat the rice evenly.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Return the scrambled eggs and shrimp to the pan. Drizzle with sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Toss to combine, garnish with extra green onions if desired, and serve hot.
