Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups cooked and chilled jasmine rice
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili paste or sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, bell peppers, and carrot for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until cooked. Combine with the vegetables.
  • Add the chilled rice, breaking up clumps. Stir everything together.
  • Pour in soy sauce, chili paste, and sesame oil (if using). Stir to evenly coat the rice and veggies.
  • Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the frozen peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more chili paste or sprinkle red pepper flakes.
  • Day-old, chilled rice works best to avoid mushiness.
  • You can substitute shrimp with chicken, tofu, or beef for variety.
  • Serve with cucumber salad or egg drop soup for a complete meal.
