Prep Time

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Bowl for mixing eggs
  • Cutting board and knife for chopping vegetables and shrimp
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Heat the wok or large skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
  4. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Add the frozen peas and carrots to the pan and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are heated through.
  6. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked, then mix them into the vegetables.
  7. Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and starting to brown slightly.
  8. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pan and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until everything is well combined and heated through.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for another minute or so, until everything is fully heated and well combined.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make sure to use cooked and chilled rice for this recipe. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky for stir-frying.
  • You can substitute any vegetables you prefer, such as broccoli or bell peppers, for the peas and carrots.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add some red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to taste.
