Shrimp Fried Rice is a popular dish in many Asian cuisines, especially Chinese and Thai. It typically consists of cooked rice stir-fried with shrimp, vegetables (like peas, carrots, and onions), eggs, and seasonings such as soy sauce and sesame oil. Here’s a basic recipe outline:

Ingredients:

  • Cooked white rice (preferably cooled, day-old rice works well)
  • Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • Vegetables (like peas, carrots, onions, and green onions)
  • Eggs
  • Garlic and ginger (optional)
  • Soy sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cooking oil (such as vegetable or peanut oil)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop vegetables, whisk eggs, and have all ingredients ready.
  2. Cook Shrimp: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry garlic, ginger (if using), and vegetables until tender-crisp.
  4. Scramble Eggs: Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble until cooked through. Mix eggs with vegetables.
  5. Add Rice: Add cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for a few minutes until heated through.
  6. Season: Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  7. Combine Shrimp: Add the cooked shrimp back into the pan and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  8. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve hot.
