Shrimp Fried Rice
Report
This Chinese take-out favorite is made with tender jasmine rice, plenty of fresh vegetables, and high in protein shrimp and eggs. It's an umami rich dish with plenty of crave-able flavor.

- Toss in garlic and ginger and saute 30 seconds longer.

Notes
- *I recommend using lightly salted rice. This is about 1 1/4 cups jasmine rice cooked with 2 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Recipe makes about 9 cups.
