Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp 20-25/lb size, peeled and deveined, large
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 talks green onion chopped (whites and green tops separated)
- 3 tablespoons garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons ginger paste
- 12 ounces mixed vegetables corn, peas, carrots, edamame, and green beans mix, frozen
- 4 cups rice day old rice is best, cooked and cooled
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce I use low sodium
- 3 large egg
Instructions
- Place shrimp in a mixing bowl and top with salt and pepper. Toss to combine until all of the shrimp is coated in seasoning.
- Heat a deep, heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once heated, add the avocado oil.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
- Cook 1-2 minutes, flip them over, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Just until they are pink and cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the chopped white parts of the green onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Add the garlic to the skillet with the onions and saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Just until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
- Add the ginger and stir to combine.
- Add the frozen vegetables to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine. Let it cook through until the vegetables have thawed and heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Mix to combine and heat the rice through.
- Add the sesame oil and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir until all of the rice is coated in the soy sauce.
- Scoot the rice to the edges of the pan, making a well in the center of the skillet.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate small bowl.
- Pour the eggs into the well you created in the center of the skillet.
- Continue to scramble the eggs in the skillet.
- Once the eggs are soft scrambled, stir them into the rest of the rice mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped tops of the green onions over the rice and enjoy!
Notes
- skillet
- Let the rice dry out a little when heating it in the skillet. This will give it that signature fried rice texture.
- Adding the soy sauce before the eggs keeps it with the rice instead of soaking into the scrambled eggs.
- Don't pre-cook the frozen vegetables. That will make them mushy and too soft.
- Be careful when adding the garlic. You don't want it to burn. Burned garlic is bitter and usually requires washing the entire pan to get the taste out.
