Better than Takeout Shrimp Fried Rice

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add vegetable oil, 1 Tablespoon sesame oil and shrimp to the skillet and salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

Add white onion and peas and carrots and fry until tender. Slide the onion, peas and carrots to the side, and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side.

Step 3

Using a spatula, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.

Step 4

Add the rice and shrimp to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour the soy sauce and 1 Tablespoons sesame oil on top. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until heated through and combined. Add chopped green onions if desired.

Step 5

*Use day old cold cooked rice for best results. If you don't have precooked rice, it is just fine to cook the rice the same day.
