Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once sizzling, add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally until opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pan and place in a bowl. Set aside.

Add the peas and carrots, white and light green parts of the green onions, garlic and ginger and cook until warm, about 2 minutes.

Move the vegetables to the side, then add the eggs and scramble them until soft and almost cooked through.

Add the shrimp back to the pan along with the rice, then pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the top. Stir until combined and cook until the shrimp and rice are warm, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with scallions. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Use Day-Old Rice for Perfect Texture 🍚
Always use rice that's been refrigerated overnight—the grains separate better and absorb sauce evenly, preventing mushy fried rice that results from using fresh, warm rice.
Cook Shrimp Separately First ⏱️
Sear shrimp in a separate pan until just cooked through (about 2 minutes per side), then set aside and add back at the end to prevent rubbery, overcooked shrimp from extended heat exposure.
Scramble Eggs and Reserve Them 🥚
Cook eggs separately until just set, crumble them, and stir in during the final 30 seconds to maintain fluffy, distinct egg pieces rather than broken streaks throughout the rice.
Maximize Umami with Garlic and Ginger Oil 🧄
Infuse your olive oil by cooking minced garlic and ginger together for 30 seconds before adding rice—this blooms their flavors and distributes them evenly throughout the dish for deeper taste.
Balance Soy Sauce Carefully 🧂
Start with less soy sauce than you think you need, tossing constantly, then add gradually—reduced sodium soy sauce concentrates quickly, and over-salting can't be reversed once cooked.
