Amazingly moist fried rice, not too greasy, but well-seasoned and fragrant! My comfort food for a busy or lazy day, cheap but perfect for everyone. I also include tips to make plump juicy, and crunchy shrimp like restaurant-quality 🦐

Full recipe with step-by-step instruction and tips

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 shrimps & 4 eggs (Feel free to add any leftover or available toppings like carrot, beans, corn, sausage,...)
  • 2-3 Cups left-over overnight rice (dry rice is the best for fried rice)
  • Marinade: Salt, light soy sauce, sugar to taste, sesame oil, scallions,...

Instruction: If anyone needs the full recipe with step-by-step instruction, I pinned the video to my profile. Please check it out!

  1. Brine the shrimp in a baking soda solution (1 tsp Sugar + 1/2 tsp Baking Soda) before you cook for about 15-30 mins for the plump juicy, and crunchy texture (Restaurant tip!). Rinse well under cold water, pat dry with a towel paper.
  2. Pan-fry shrimp over medium heat, 1-2 mins each side or until shrimp turns pink and take out. Don't overcook!
  3. Add the eggs, scrambling them until they’re 80% cooked.
  4. Add the rice and stir well, so the rice is well-coated with egg. Cook over high heat until the rice dries up and 'jumps' around in the pan.
  5. Season with salt, light soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil to your taste.
  6. Add other toppings, scallions to release the aroma. Add shrimp and stir for another 15s, then your fried rice is ready!

Plate and serve your shrimp fried rice – just like from your favorite restaurant :) Hope you like this quick fried rice recipe and give it a try someday!
