CB's Shrimp Fried Rice image

I'm not a shrimp fan, but I made this shrimp fried rice for my husband one night and he's begged for it ever since. It works equally well with pork, chicken, beef, or veggies. We now have Chinese night at home!

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggs
2 teaspoons water
2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 cups cold cooked rice
2 ½ cups small cooked, tail-off shrimp
5 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup finely chopped green onion
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and water together in a small bowl.
  • Melt butter in a large nonstick frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until almost firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Carefully transfer egg to a plate and slice into thin strips, about 2 1/2-inches long.
  • Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is nicely separated and firm, but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add green onion and egg strips; cook for 1 minute.
  • Season with salt and additional soy sauce if needed.

Overall, this recipe was a solid 7/10. It was easy to make and tasted good, but it wasn't anything special.

I tried this recipe and the rice came out a little mushy. Not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra sauce and spices to make it more flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow and the shrimp fried rice turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more shrimp.

Not a fan of this recipe. The shrimp were overcooked and the rice was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
