Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan or wok to medium-high. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the hot pan. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove shrimp from pan, cover, and set aside.
- Add scrambled eggs to the hot pan and cook, stirring, until the eggs set and are nice and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the peppers, onion and carrot. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring a bit, until the vegetables soften.
- Add the garlic, Chinese 5 spice, chili flake, chil-garlic sauce, and salt and black pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 1 minute, until you can smell the gorgeous garlic.
- Add the butter and melt. Stir in the rice, green onions, soy sauce and fish sauce. Lightly stir fry the rice for 5 minutes, stirring a bit, until everything is combined.
- Stir in the sriracha, sesame oil and reserved shrimp and scrambled eggs. Warm through 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and serve!
Notes
- Chop the shrimp if you’d like more uniform bites of shrimp fried rice.
