Best 3 Easy Shrimp Fried Rice Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Remove shrimp from the skillet using a slotted spoon, allowing oils and cooking juices to remain in the skillet. Place shrimp on a plate and set aside.
• Add peas and carrots and corn to the skillet and cook, stirring intermittently, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet, pour eggs into the other side, and cook to scramble, stirring as necessary, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir shrimp, rice, and green onions into the skillet. Drizzle evenly with soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is reheated through, about 2 minutes.

EASY SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Rinse rice in a strainer until the water runs clear.
• Transfer rice to a saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Check rice; the water should be completely absorbed and rice should be tender. If rice is still firm, cover and continue to cook until tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat. Measure out 2 cups cooked rice for fried rice; set aside. Reserve remaining rice for another use.
• Warm oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until golden brown and soft, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and green onions; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes. Stir in 2 cups cooked rice and soy sauce; cook for 1 minute.
• Break egg over the top of the rice mixture. Stir until egg has completely set up in the rice, about 3 minutes.

EASY ORANGE SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions. Reserve. Run cool running water over the shrimp until thawed; drain well.
• Heat oil in a nonstick wok or large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sugar snap peas and red pepper. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
• Stir in the soy sauce, orange concentrate, honey, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute or until sauce has slightly thickened.
• Stir the cooked rice, shrimp, orange segments and green onion into the sauce. Cook, tossing, until rice and shrimp are heated through and coated with sauce.
• NOTE: Use up leftovers by stirring 1 1/2 cups sliced, cooked chicken, steak or pork into the stir-fry pan instead of the cooked shrimp.
