**Additional Information:**
* Cooking Time: Approximately 30 minutes
* Difficulty Level: Beginner-friendly
* Serving Size: 4-6 people
* Recipe Variations:
* Vegetable Medley: Customize your Shrimp Fried Rice with a medley of your favorite vegetables, such as diced carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli.
* Protein Options: Feel free to substitute the shrimp with other proteins like chicken, tofu, or beef.
* Sauce It Up: Add a flavorful twist by incorporating your preferred sauce, such as soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or oyster sauce.
* Spice It Right: Adjust the heat level to your liking by adding chili peppers or Sriracha sauce.
**Tips:**
* Use high-quality rice: The type of rice you use can significantly impact the final texture and flavor of your Shrimp Fried Rice. Opt for long-grain varieties like Jasmine rice or Basmati rice, which are known for their fluffy texture and distinct aroma.
* Cook the rice ahead of time: To achieve the perfect texture, it's recommended to cook the rice a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight. This allows the rice to dry out slightly, resulting in separate grains that won't clump together when fried.
* Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the rice and other ingredients from sticking during the cooking process, ensuring an even fry.
* Work in batches: If you're cooking for a large group, it's best to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the wok or skillet. This will ensure that all the ingredients are cooked evenly and don't become soggy.

SPICY SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE
Steps:
- For the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the soy sauce, Ginger-Garlic Paste, sambal and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- For the egg crepes: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon water. Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with peanut oil. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl the pan so the egg coats the bottom. Cook over low heat until firm, then carefully turn with a spatula and finish cooking on the other side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the egg crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining egg mixture. When the crepes are cool enough to handle, stack, roll and slice them into thin julienne strips. Set aside until ready to use.
- For the fried rice: Set a large wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry until slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the onions, celery and Ginger-Garlic Paste and stir fry until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the rice and stir fry until hot and a little crispy, about 2 minutes, breaking up the rice with a wooden spoon as you go. Fold in the peas, edamame, pineapple and bean sprouts and continue to stir fry until the vegetables heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the soy sauce and sambal. Fold in the cooked shrimp and the sliced egg crepe. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions.
- Pulse the garlic and ginger in a food processor. With the processor running, stream in the canola oil and process to a paste. (You'll need 3 tablespoons of the paste for the above recipe. Refrigerate remaining paste for up to a week.)

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP
This was my mother's favorite way to use up leftover white rice. It really doesn't taste like the fried rice you get at a restaurant, but it still a great meal. I typically throw in whatever vegetables I have in my kitchen, and leave out the shrimp or chicken. I also cut this down to accommodate the amount of rice I have. Cooking time does not include making rice, chicken or shrimp since this is usually made out of leftovers.

SHRIMP AND EGG FRIED RICE
This fried rice is a favorite of Hubby's and also was well-received by guests. It's easy to whip up quickly if you need to. I try to use the minimal amount of meat needed to give it good flavor to the whole dish when I make it just for the two of us. You may want to increase to 1/2 lb shrimp if serving to guests. Hubby actually prefers this using 1/2 lb pork in place of the shrimp, but this is healthier. Sometimes I sub fake crab for the shrimp. It ends up a little sweeter but still good. Scallops are also a delicious option.

Steps:
- If using frozen shrimp, defrost under cold running water, then clean, de-vein, and remove tails of shrimp. If using cooked shrimp or crab, add it when the veggies are almost done.

- Add garlic and white onion to wok, and after they are soft add the other veggies. You can really use just about any veggie with this.
- When veggies are mostly done, move them to the sides of the wok, creating a hole of bare pan on the bottom. Pour in beaten egg. Let it scramble a bit and break it into smaller pieces.
- Add rice to the wok, and return shrimp to the wok. Add the green onions, and the five spice powder and soy sauce to taste. Add 1 tablespoon more oil to the rice. Stir to fry the rice and combine the seasonings. Add vegetable oil if you need more oil.
COPYCAT KOBE STYLE FRIED RICE WITH " SHRIMP SAUCE"
Kobe is a Japanese restaurant from my hometown. I got this recipe from a cookbook called Hometown Cooking with Bank of Granite and credit is given to Robin Powell. I normally double the rice (it's that good!) and 1/2 the "shrimp sauce" as it goes a long way. I am listing it here exactly as it is printed. PS- Shrimp Sauce is Kobe's name for it there is no shrimp anywhere near it. I serve it with Recipe #186388.

Steps:
- Pour olive oil into a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onions and chiles and sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add rice, sugar, soy sauce and fish sauce.
- Reduce heat to medium and sauté until ingredients are well coated and hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Add shrimp, cilantro, basil, and sesame oil and sauté until shrimp are hot to touch, about 3 minutes.
Tips:
- Cook the rice a day ahead: This will make it easier to fry and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use day-old rice: Freshly cooked rice is too moist and will not fry well.
- Rinse the rice: This will remove the starch and help the rice grains stay separate.
- Use cold rice: Cold rice is easier to handle and will fry more evenly.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the rice from frying evenly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: This will help prevent the rice from sticking.
- Add the eggs last: This will prevent them from overcooking.
- Season to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt to taste.
Conclusion:
Shrimp fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your shrimp fried rice turns out perfect every time.
