Easy Shrimp Fried Rice
Easy homemade shrimp fried rice with peas, carrots, garlic, and green onions. All my kids love this dish!
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
- 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
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove shrimp from the skillet using a slotted spoon, allowing oils and cooking juices to remain in the skillet. Place shrimp on a plate and set aside.
- Add peas and carrots and corn to the skillet and cook, stirring intermittently, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet, pour eggs into the other side, and cook to scramble, stirring as necessary, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir shrimp, rice, and green onions into the skillet. Drizzle evenly with soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is reheated through, about 2 minutes.
