Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 3 stalks Green onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Dice the carrot and red bell pepper, chop the green onions, and mince the garlic. Ensure the shrimp are peeled, deveined, and patted dry.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the shrimp in a single layer, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 more tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet and lightly scramble them. Cook until just set, then push them to one side of the skillet.
Step 6
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, and toss in the minced garlic, diced carrot, red bell pepper, and frozen peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 7
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well, breaking up any clumps.
Step 8
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the rice and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to seep into the rice.
Step 9
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with the scrambled eggs and chopped green onions. Gently fold everything together and cook for an additional minute.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your Shrimp and Vegetable Fried Rice!
