The funny thing about fried rice is that it really isn’t fried. Just a minimal amount of oil is used. And even though I really love shrimp in fried rice, you can use any protein you want (leftover pork, chicken or steak). This easy shrimp fried rice is a quick lunch or dinner for your friends and family. And it is a wonderful way to use left over rice and vegetables. I even make it on our boat as it’s that fast to pull together. In a pinch, if I am out of soy sauce, believe it or not Worcestershire sauce works just fine. I also find with shrimp in fried rice, some cubed pineapple accompanies the dish very well. Enjoy!
In a pan over medium high heat, add the sesame oil. Sauté the onion. Then add the rice and vegetables and stir fry for a few minutes until the veggies are tender. Make a hole in the middle of the pan and add the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs for a few minutes and use your spatula when done to chop the eggs into little pieces. Mix everything together in the pan. Add the soy sauce and chives and stir together. Turn off the heat and add the shrimp. Toss and then you are ready to serve. It’s that easy. As a main course, this serves 2-3.
