📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Prepare the jasmine rice in advance to ensure it is cooled and slightly dry. Leftover rice works best for fried rice.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

3. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Add the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another minute.

5. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs on the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.

6. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir everything together.

7. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to coat the rice evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

8. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and mix well, allowing everything to heat through for 2 minutes.

9. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the sliced scallions on top for added flavor and garnish.

10. Serve the Jasmine Shrimp Fried Rice hot and enjoy!
