Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 Eggs
• 3 Green onions (sliced)
• 1 Carrot (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.

Step 2

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 per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, gently stirring, until they are just set. Break the cooked eggs into small pieces with your spatula. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the diced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. If using frozen peas, add them to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to break up any clumps and ensure the rice heats evenly.

Step 7

Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the sliced green onions and stir gently to combine.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are heated through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot and enjoy!
