Takeout Shrimp Fried Rice
Description
This shrimp fried rice starts by heating vegetable and sesame oils in a skillet or wok. Raw peeled and deveined shrimp are seasoned with salt, black pepper, and ground ginger, then sautéed until fully cooked. The shrimp are removed, and frozen peas and carrots are cooked briefly in the same pan. Minced garlic is added and sautéed.
Vegetables are pushed aside as eggs are poured in and cooked alongside them, creating small curds. Then cooked shrimp, cooked rice, and green onions are returned to the pan and stirred together. Soy sauce is drizzled over to provide salty, umami flavor. The dish is heated through and served hot.
The combination of sesame and vegetable oils, fresh shrimp, and vegetables yields flavor and texture typical of takeout shrimp fried rice. The eggs add richness, and the ginger imparts a subtle warmth. This dish works well as a main course or side.
