Shrimp Fried rice

I've made shrimp fried rice (my version) countless times and never once thought to blog the process. Mostly because I usually make it in a whim with what ever I have in my fridge, just free styling .  But I've been asked to share my receipe so I'm going to attempt to do so. I say attempt because although its the easiest thing to make, there's too many ways I've made it.  So I'm going to use a combination of pictures I have of the process. So here we go.

Ingredients: 

1. Cold cooked Jasmine rice

2. Shrimp 

3. Peas and carrot 

4. Oil

5. Soy sauce

6. Eggs

7. Onions

8. Shrimp seasoning

9. Peppers(optional)

PREP:

 Veggies- thaw the frozen peas and carrots in water. Then drain and set aside.  

Shrimp- steam or fry lightly seasoned shrimp and set aside. 

Egg- fry eggs until almost done but still a a little runny in the middle (do not flip the egg).  Chop up the fried eggs and set aside

To make the rice spicy- I blend a little bit of onions a 3 hot peppers with oil together.

METHOD:

(You can make fried rice in a any pan but it's best to use a wok pan)

-In a wide heated pan, add a little bit of oil then some chopped onions. 

-Sauté onions until fragrant.

-Then add rice and stir to break apart and warm up a little.

-Add some soy sauce and stir some more.

-Then add more onions, peas, carrots and shrimp. Mix well together

-Mix in pepper blend and shrimp seasoning.

-Taste, then add more soy sauce if needed (your rice should no longer be white)

- Add chopped eggs. Stir altogether. 

- Spread rice evenly in pan and let cook for 2 minutes and your done.  

 

Plate your fried rice and enjoy.
