* 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



Spicy Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound medium (21/25 count) shrimp, shells and tails removed, deveined, halved lengthwise, then crosswise
2 tablespoons Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows
2 teaspoons sambal oelek (Asian chile-garlic sauce)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Peanut oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste, recipe follows
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 cups cold cooked white rice
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sambal oelek
3 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup fresh ginger, broken into broken pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil

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



Chinese Fried Rice with Shrimp image

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



Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice image

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 green onions, sliced
1 small white onion, diced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
1/3 lb medium shrimp
1 garlic clove, minced
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 cups cooked brown rice or 2 cups cooked white rice
1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
1/3 cup carrot, shreds (optional)
1 diced red pepper (optional)

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.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in wok on medium high heat. When oil is hot, add shrimp and stir-fry until pink. Then remove them from wok.
  • 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.

1 sweet onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 eggs
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lemon, juiced, divided
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in cooked jasmine rice and frozen peas-carrot mixture; fry until rice begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter and stir to combine. Pour in eggs and cook until firm. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, and 1/2 lemon juice; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and fry until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and lemon juice. Combine with fried rice mixture.
  • Combine mayonnaise, water, paprika, ginger paste, white sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the yum yum sauce. Stir well. Serve with the fried rice.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
3/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (to taste)
5 cups cooked jasmine rice, cold (can be cooked and refrigerated one day ahead)
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons asian fish sauce
2 cups cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined and large chopped (about 12 oz.)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup fresh basil leaf, chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

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.
