Easy BetterThanTakeout Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe ready in 30 minutes for a quick tasty meal that satisfies your seafood and rice cravings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably refrigerated overnight for best texture)
  • 0.5 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium-sized, about 21-25 count), chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts separated)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    • Instructions

  • Have all your ingredients ready and measured. Make sure the rice is cold. Chop your shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice green onions, keeping whites and greens separate.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Move shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add a small drizzle of oil if needed. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble gently until soft but cooked through. Transfer to the shrimp bowl.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Toss in minced garlic and the white parts of green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add peas and carrots, stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened.
  • Crumble cold rice into the pan, breaking clumps apart with a spatula. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to heat through evenly. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well so every grain is coated.
  • Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the pan. Gently fold everything together. Cook an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Toss in the sliced green parts of the green onions. Give one final stir, then remove from heat.
