Making Shrimp Fried Rice is a straightforward process if you follow these steps:
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the rice is cooked and chilled. If using leftover rice, break up any clumps.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender.
- Scramble Eggs: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice and shrimp back into the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Flavor It Up: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
