Ingredients
1 lb (approximately 450 g) uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (26–30 count)
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp light olive oil or canola oil
4 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped (including both light and dark green parts)
5 cups cooked rice (preferably cold leftover rice such as Jasmine, medium, long-grain, or brown rice)
12 oz (about 340 g) frozen peas and carrots, thawed (can substitute with other steamed or roasted vegetables)
2 Tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos, to taste
1 1/2 tsp pure sesame oil (not toasted)
Instructions
1-Marinate the shrimp in cornstarch, salt, and pepper at room temperature for 10 minutes to enhance texture and flavor.
2-Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsp cooking oil, and cook the shrimp for 1 minute per side until they turn opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3-Using the same skillet set to medium heat, add the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs and keep them aside.
4-Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, heat with 1 Tbsp oil, and cook the green onions for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5-Stir in the cooked rice, spread it evenly in the skillet, and cook without stirring for 1-2 minutes. Then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the rice sizzles and develops texture.
6-Add soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, stir well, then mix in the thawed vegetables to incorporate everything evenly.
7-Return the cooked shrimp and eggs to the skillet, combine all ingredients, and cook until thoroughly heated. Adjust soy sauce to taste and serve immediately for the best flavor.
