Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
½ cup frozen corn
2 cloves garlic, finely minced, or more to taste
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups cooked rice
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, or more to taste
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove shrimp from the skillet using a slotted spoon, allowing oils and cooking juices to remain in the skillet. Place shrimp on a plate and set aside.
  • Add peas and carrots and corn to the skillet and cook, stirring intermittently, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet, pour eggs into the other side, and cook to scramble, stirring as necessary, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir shrimp, rice, and green onions into the skillet. Drizzle evenly with soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is reheated through, about 2 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Splash of rice vinegar
Splash of sesame oil
Pinch kosher salt
1 clove garlic, grated
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp, butterflied and tails removed
Rice, for serving
2 scallions, sliced thin, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Put the orange juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and whisk thoroughly to incorporate the cornstarch into the liquid. If you have a few lumps remaining, that is fine. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the crispy shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the flour, salt and pepper to a shallow dish. Crack the eggs into a second shallow dish and beat well. Place the panko in a third dish. Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
  • Fry the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping halfway through, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Before serving, add the sauce to the bottom of a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with the sliced scallions.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons rice wine (or sake)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 1/2 cups snow peas, cut on the diagonal (green pea could be used instead)
3 -4 cups brown rice, cooked
1 lb shrimp, coarsely chopped (raw or cooked)

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add eggs; stir fry for 30 seconds or until soft scrambled.
  • Add onions, ginger and snow peas. If using uncooked shrimp, add them to the skillet and cook until just before they start to look pink. Add rice and broth mixture; toss gently to coat.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop your vegetables, marinate your shrimp, and cook your rice ahead of time to save time when you're cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help you cook the rice and shrimp evenly.
  • Cook the rice until it is slightly undercooked: This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you add it to the skillet.
  • Use a high heat setting: This will help you get a nice sear on the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the shrimp and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • Add the sauce ingredients and cook until the sauce has thickened: This should only take a few minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Orange shrimp fried rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Orange shrimp fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its vibrant flavors and colors, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner option, give orange shrimp fried rice a try.
