Easy Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

I didn't have any corn so I just used frozen peas and carrots, and I didn't have sesame oil so I just replaced it with more olive oil. I also made a larger portion. It still turned out well! I am a beginner cook and this was both easy and delicious!

absolutely love it i base all Chinese restaurants on their fried rice. This was as good as any I've ever had. next time I'll try it with rotisserie chicken. I used basmati rice 2 cups water 1 1/4 cup rice, boil water add rice stir turn to low with lid on simmer for 20 min, take off heat and sit 5 minutes with lid on. Put in a bowl in thr fridge the rice MUST be cold before adding to recipe, made 4 cups.

This was good but a little bland as is. With added seasonings, this recipe was delicious. I made half the recipe...added yellow onion, ommited the corn, kept the peas and carrots at 1 cup, doubled the minced garlic, only 1 tbsp soy sauce is needed, added 1/2 tsp each of the following: no sodium chicken bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, and subbed 1/4-1/2 tsp white pepper for black pepper . I drizzled some sesame oil on top of the finished dish instead of cooking with it.

Want to get your kids to eat the whole thing? Add a half can or 8 oz of pineapple tidbits. This simple fried rice recipe is easy to build upon. I make this when I need to use up leftover rice, veggies, or chicken breast from the fridge. Separating each set of ingredients as you cook is best. I add Tajin citrus pepper after cooking rather than black pepper during. I sometimes add sautéed chopped cabbage with a white onion. In lieu of sesame oil, I’ll dump a teaspoon of sesame seeds in with the shrimp. I often pour a few ounces of hot water on top of the rice as I mix to prevent sticking. Pictured with hoisin sauce and Yum Yum sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly despite it being my first time making it! I added a bit more rice to it but I cooked the shrimp a bit longer but still delicious enough. So everything was going well till I needed to add a teaspoon and a half of soy sauce and a bit more garlic. That still left things bland so I decided to be experimental and took a dive into my herbs and spices. Throwing together with paprika, basil, and crushed red pepper and omg it turned out amazing! Especially if you enjoy things with a bit of kick to it, you definitely have to try this out and all I changed was some spices! Everything else was fantastic and added onions to it since I love them!

Prepared the recipe mostly as is. I reduced the recipe to 2 servings and still had leftovers! So beware this recipe yields a lot if you are a person who eats small portions! Instead of using corn, I replaced that for the same amount of peas and carrots and chopped a small onion I had lying around. This was very good and as long as you "mise en place" (prep all before starting) you should have a meal in a matter of minutes! Don't fret if you do not have a fancy wok as long as you have your reliable non-stick pan that you know, you should be fine. Don't overcook your shrimp would be my most important advice for this recipe. I will make this again!

Added Bean sprouts and Green onion instead of Corn with a little Oyster sauce with the lite soy sauce. Used Corn oil instead of olive also. Turned out great and very easy. Yum !

Used a bag of frozen oriental veggies instead of the peas/carrots/corn. Pre-peeled shrimp makes it even faster. Also used brown rice. It was easy and delicious.

Cooked according to the recipe, but used leftover rice that I had in the freezer, jar minced garlic, used a little lemon pepper on the shrimp, and added small cubes of crunchy baked tofu. It was delicious!

I made this with Basmati rice (not as sticky, and has a nice mild fragrance). I also used snow peas. It was delicious and easy to make. I like that you can use any veggie to your liking!

I substituted 1 cup of riced cauliflower and used only 3 cups of rice. Delish!

Easy to make. Delicious. Made it with shrimp and scallops. Outstanding. Used smoked sesame oil…just gives it a little extra pop. If you have a Blackstone such an easier process .

I tried this recipe once using fresh peas, carrots, and corn kernels and it was great, re-visiting the site to make it again. Best recipe for Fried Rice beginners I've ever found.

So flavorful — tastes like a classic.

I substituted 1 cup of riced cauliflower and used only 3 cups of rice. Delish!

Made this tonight for dinner and it was huge hit! My picky daughter even ate it! I added chicken for more protein as well. Thank you for sharing!

I cooked this for supper tonight, and my wife and I liked the results. (Sadly, I overcooked the shrimp, but that was my fault.) I added a bit of red curry paste to my portion, and liked it. When my wife tried a sample bite of mine, she liked the addition of the red curry paste so much that I added some to our leftovers, which should be great tomorrow! :-)

Used liquid amino instead of soy sauce to lower the salt content. Turned out great. My wife kept coming back for more. Definitely a keeper!

This is such a flexible recipe and easy to tailor to the taste of your family. While I used 4 cups of rice (that was left over from a previous night's dinner) I used more shrimp than the recipe called for and I used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. Everything else pretty much stayed the same and it turned out awesome. It was a little more wet texture than I like, but that was my fault. I got a little carried away with the soy sauce, but the flavor was fantastic. This is definitely a keeper and I'll try to control my soy sauce pour in the future.

Easy recipe for sure! Thought it was very tasty since this is my first time making it .
