I love making my own shrimp fried rice because I can decide what I want in it. Some people put far more into it than I do...like scrambled eggs and bean sprouts. I like it just like this!
Shrimp Fried Rice
1 pound medium uncooked shrimp,
peeled and de-veined
1 teaspoon
cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive
oil
1/4 cup of
chopped onion
1/4 cup green
onion, finely chopped
5 cups
left-over cold rice,
1 cup frozen
carrots and peas, defrosted
2 tablespoons
soy sauce (more if needed)
1½ teaspoon sesame oil
In a medium
bowl, mix the shrimp, cornstarch, salt and pepper and set aside. Heat a large
skillet on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When oil is hot and begins to
sizzle, add the shrimp and cook for about a minute on each side stirring
constantly. Remove to bowl when shrimp just begins to turn pink.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the same
skillet and when hot, add the onion and the green onions and cook until
fragrant and tender. Then add the rice
and mix well. Spread rice evenly over the pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stir and
saute another 1 to 2 minutes. Rice should sizzle.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons
of soy sauce over rice and stir well. Add sesame oil and vegetables and mix
well. Add cooked shrimp to the pan and mix well. Continue to cook until the
rice is hot, stirring frequently. Add more soy sauce to taste, if desired.
