Easy Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe
Shrimp Fried Rice is delicious, easy, and quick with fresh shrimp, fried rice, peas, carrots and onions. Ready in just 20 minutes!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cooked white rice (day old or leftover rice works best)
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- ½ cup frozen peas and carrots
- ½ medium onion (chopped)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ lb thawed raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
Instructions
- Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towel.
- If the rice isn’t already cooked, prepare ¾ cup uncooked rice according to the package directions which will yield 1 ½ cups cooked.
- At the same time, on medium high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok.
- Add the peas and carrots mix, onion and garlic. Stir fry until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium low and push the mixture off to one side of the skillet, then pour egg on the other side of skillet. Stir fry until scrambled, about 1 or 2 minutes.
- Now add the rice and soy sauce and blend all together well. Stir fry until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Move the fried rice all to one half of the pan and add a little more oil to the empty side. Add the shrimp and fry until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side flipping over halfway through.
- Stir the shrimp into the rice until combined and serve.

Notes
- To make this dish even easier I recommend buying frozen raw shrimp that comes peeled, deveined, and tails removed. It’s so much easier than doing all that work yourself.
- Thaw the shrimp before using in this recipe.
- If you forget to thaw the shrimp, set the bag in a large bowl filled with cold water. It will defrost in about 15 minutes.
