SHRIMP AND EGG FRIED RICE

Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice image

This fried rice is a favorite of Hubby's and also was well-received by guests. It's easy to whip up quickly if you need to. I try to use the minimal amount of meat needed to give it good flavor to the whole dish when I make it just for the two of us. You may want to increase to 1/2 lb shrimp if serving to guests. Hubby actually prefers this using 1/2 lb pork in place of the shrimp, but this is healthier. Sometimes I sub fake crab for the shrimp. It ends up a little sweeter but still good. Scallops are also a delicious option.

Ingredients

3 green onions, sliced
1 small white onion, diced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
1/3 lb medium shrimp
1 garlic clove, minced
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 cups cooked brown rice or 2 cups cooked white rice
1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
1/3 cup carrot, shreds (optional)
1 diced red pepper (optional)

Steps:

If using frozen shrimp, defrost under cold running water, then clean, de-vein, and remove tails of shrimp. If using cooked shrimp or crab, add it when the veggies are almost done.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in wok on medium high heat. When oil is hot, add shrimp and stir-fry until pink. Then remove them from wok.
Add garlic and white onion to wok, and after they are soft add the other veggies. You can really use just about any veggie with this.
When veggies are mostly done, move them to the sides of the wok, creating a hole of bare pan on the bottom. Pour in beaten egg. Let it scramble a bit and break it into smaller pieces.
Add rice to the wok, and return shrimp to the wok. Add the green onions, and the five spice powder and soy sauce to taste. Add 1 tablespoon more oil to the rice. Stir to fry the rice and combine the seasonings. Add vegetable oil if you need more oil.

SHRIMP AND EGG FRIED RICE WITH NAPA CABBAGE - TYLER FLORENCE

Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice With Napa Cabbage - Tyler Florence image

This is soooo good! I have made this 3 or 4 times now, so have adjusted it to our liking. I use 1 lb. of shrimp instead of the 1/2 lb, and green onion instead of the shallots. You can use green cabbage or Bok Choy instead of the Napa cabbage if you can't find it. Use your imagination, I have added diced red pepper, bean sprouts (at the end for some crunch.) If snap peas or snow peas are in season, I use them instead of the peas. I think some chopped cashews on top instead of the peanuts would be good as well. This is from Food Network, Tyler Florence. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

* To make perfect shrimp and egg fried rice, use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice is too moist and will make the dish mushy. * Use a large wok or skillet to cook the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together. * Cook the shrimp and eggs separately from the rice. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and the eggs from becoming rubbery. * Add the vegetables to the rice last. This will help to keep them crisp. * Season the rice to taste with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. * Serve the shrimp and egg fried rice immediately.

Conclusion:

* Shrimp and egg fried rice is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. * It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and shrimp. * With a few simple tips, you can make shrimp and egg fried rice that is restaurant-quality.
