Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them, stirring constantly, until fully cooked. Remove the scrambled eggs and set aside with the shrimp.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas and carrots mix and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are defrosted and heated through.

Step 6

Add the day-old cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to heat up and soak in the flavors.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice, stirring to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet, mixing them thoroughly into the rice.

Step 9

Add the sliced green onions and give the mixture a final stir. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine all the flavors.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce as needed.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your one-dish Shrimp Fried Rice meal!
