Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
- 3 whole egg
- 1 medium carrot (diced)
- 1 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral cooking oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: dice the carrot, mince the garlic, and slice the green onions. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the whisked eggs and gently scramble them. Once cooked, break the eggs into small pieces and transfer them to a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, then toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked rice to the pan and break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir and toss the rice to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.
Push the rice to one side of the pan and pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until evenly distributed throughout the rice.
Return the cooked eggs and shrimp to the pan. Gently stir to combine with the rice and vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is evenly heated.
Turn off the heat and add the sliced green onions. Give the rice a final toss, and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, fish sauce, or salt as needed.
Serve the shrimp fried rice immediately, garnished with additional green onions or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
