Ingredients

1 lb - shrimp
salt
black pepper
3 tablespoons - olive oil
2 cups - organic frozen peas and carrots
2 - green onions set aside dark green scallions
3 cloves - garlic
2 teaspoons - ginger see notes
3 - eggs
3 cups - rice white or brown
3 tablespoons - reduced sodium soy sauce

Instructions

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!
