Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use cold, cooked rice for this recipe. Freshly cooked rice can become mushy when stir-fried.
  • Scramble the eggs separately before adding them to the skillet, this ensures that they cook evenly and don't become rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok when cooking the shrimp, this can cause them to steam rather than sear.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce to your liking, adding more or less depending on your taste preferences.

Enjoy this delicious and easy shrimp fried rice recipe! It's perfect for a quick and satisfying meal any day of the week.
