Delicious Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably cold and a day old for better texture)
• 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix (thawed)
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:
   • If you haven’t done so already, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. For best results, let it cool completely or refrigerate it overnight.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Scramble the Eggs:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
   • Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside with the shrimp.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • Add a little more oil to the skillet if necessary. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
   • Add the thawed peas and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients:
   • Add the cold rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
   • Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Mix everything together.
6. Season the Rice:
   • Pour the soy sauce and optional oyster sauce over the rice mixture. Stir well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
   • Drizzle with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the fried rice just before serving.
   • Enjoy your delicious shrimp fried rice hot!
