Easy Shrimp Fried Rice

 

Ingredients:

• small or medium shrimp
• green onions
• sesame oil and canola oil
• cooked rice
• garlic
• soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
• peas and carrots (frozen is fine)
• corn (frozen is fine)

• Clean and devein shrimp. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Toss with cornstarch.
• Beat eggs in a small bowl, set them aside.
• Start by heating up both oils in a large skillet. Cook shrimp until pink, then remove onto a plate and set aside.
• Add more oil to the skillet, if needed. Add green onions and Saute for 2 minutes. Add rice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and if used turmeric. Stir until heated through.
• Make space in the middle of the skillet, by pushing the rice to the sides. Pour beaten eggs into pan and cook, stirring, until set. Stir everything together.
• Add peas and carrots and corn (frozen is just fine). Stir to heat through.
• Add shrimp and stir, cook 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve.

NOTES

It is best to use rice that was cooked and refrigerated overnight. Freshly cooked rice will change the texture and will make the whole dish sticky.
