Shrimp Fried Rice

I tried to add as many vegetables as possible without overwhelming the dish. I also cooked my rice and shrimp the night before. By doing that this came together in 10 minutes.

I love things spicy but not my fried rice. You could add Sriracha or red chili paste to take it up a notch.

12-14 large shrimp or you could use more smaller ones.

2 cups of cooked white rice-day old rice works best

2 tablespoons of Vegetable or avocado oil

1/2 zucchini- diced into small pieces

1/2 red pepper- diced into small pieces

2 cloves of garlic-minced

2 eggs whisked with a tablespoon of water

1/4 cup of soy sauce- eyeball it you may need more

3 dashes of sesame oil

I also added a tablespoon of teriyaki stir fry sauce as I’m trying to use it up but this is optional

Sriracha and red chili paste are also an option to make it spicy- just add when I say to add other sauces

1/3 cup of frozen peas

3 scallions- diced

S&P

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium to high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Meanwhile cook rice according to package.

Add shrimp and cook 3-4 minutes then remove to a plate. Add more oil and cook zucchini and peppers for 2 minutes add garlic and cook for another minute. Remove to plate.

Add a little more oil then add beaten eggs. Constantly stir for 30 seconds. Add rice, sauces, shrimp, cooked vegetables and peas to the pan. Mix all together. Top with diced scallions.

Enjoy!
