Easy Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

This shrimp fried rice recipe brings the taste of a restaurant-quality meal right to your kitchen. Follow these easy steps to create a flavorful and satisfying dish that̢۪s perfect for dinner.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• ½ cup frozen corn
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or more to taste)
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 cups cooked rice (preferably cold or day-old rice)
• 3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or more to taste)
• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Directions:

Step 1: Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn bright pink on the outside and the meat becomes opaque. This should take about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once done, remove the shrimp from the skillet using a slotted spoon, and set them aside.

Step 3: In the same skillet, add the frozen peas, carrots, and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes.

Step 4: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently until fragrant.

Step 5: Push the cooked vegetables and garlic to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side of the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally to scramble them. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 6: Once the eggs are cooked, stir the shrimp, rice, and green onions into the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 7: Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir again to combine everything evenly. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until the shrimp is reheated through and the rice is well-coated in the soy sauce.

Your shrimp fried rice is now ready to serve. Enjoy a delightful, flavorful dish that will surely impress!
