This delectable shrimp fried rice is filled with color and taste that makes it vanish fast. Our family of four can't get enough of it. Bacon adds crispness and a hint of heartiness. Consider it when you need a different main dish or brunch item. -Sandra Thompson, White Hall, Arkansas

When the rice is hot, add the peas and toss to heat through, about 1 minute. Add the pork, reserved shrimp, eggs, and salt, and stir fry to heat thoroughly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately on a large platter.

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP



Chinese Fried Rice with Shrimp image

This was my mother's favorite way to use up leftover white rice. It really doesn't taste like the fried rice you get at a restaurant, but it still a great meal. I typically throw in whatever vegetables I have in my kitchen, and leave out the shrimp or chicken. I also cut this down to accommodate the amount of rice I have. Cooking time does not include making rice, chicken or shrimp since this is usually made out of leftovers.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE



Shrimp Fried Rice image

Inspired by the fire-kissed flavor of Japanese steakhouse and hibachi fare, especially at the Kani House restaurants in Georgia, this quick fried-rice dish is a veritable comfort. Frying the shrimp first in oil, just until they're cooked, and reserving them to add back at the end means they stay tender. Plus, you're left with the most aromatic shrimp oil in which to fry the rice and vegetables. The shortcut of bagged frozen mixed vegetables comes in handy here, not least because they need only to be thawed by the skillet's high heat. The yum yum sauce, a mayo-ketchup dipping sauce that is ordinarily reserved for grilled hibachi meats, tastes fabulous splattered over the finished rice - not unlike how the artist Jackson Pollock flung paint on canvas.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
Salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium onion, diced
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (any mix of carrots, peas, corn and green beans)
6 cups cooked jasmine or other long-grain white rice, preferably cold and day-old
1/4 cup soy sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large eggs
Yum Yum Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a very large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high. Add the olive oil and shrimp, and sprinkle with salt and the garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is no longer translucent and begins to turn golden at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the onion and mixed vegetables to the shrimpy oil and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the onion loses its raw edge but is still crunchy, and the vegetables are mostly thawed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice and soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until well combined and the rice begins to crisp underneath where it meets the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce as needed.
  • Scooch the rice to one side of the pan, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter on the empty side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the melted butter, break the yolks and stir vigorously to scramble the eggs, cooking just until they have set but are still tender, about 1 minute. Stir the soft scrambled eggs into the rice, add the reserved shrimp and any accumulated juices, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Let the fried rice sit for a few minutes so that it can continue to crisp in the pan's residual heat. (If you haven't already made the yum yum sauce, this is the perfect time to do it.)
  • Drizzle most of the yum yum sauce over the fried rice in the skillet, leaving some back, if desired, to serve in a small dish on the side for dipping the shrimp.

KUNG PAO SHRIMP



Kung Pao Shrimp image

The name of this dish is now written in English as gong bao shrimp, and this recipe takes inspiration from the American Chinese versions that come from the Sichuan Province of China. Here, flashes of chile heat shine in a glossy swirl of a salty, sour and sweet sauce. With a confetti blend of shrimp, peppers and peanuts, each mouthful is a little spicy and chewy, savory and crisp. The deep malty tang comes from Chinkiang vinegar, a jet-black condiment from China that is traditionally fermented from grains and aged in clay. It's key to this dish and also delicious for dipping dumplings, saucing noodles and dressing vegetables. (Balsamic vinegar, similarly fermented and aged from grape juice in barrels, is a fun, fruity substitute.) With both vegetables and protein, this one-wok stir-fry is a complete meal with steamed rice.

Categories     weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinkiang (black) vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, coarsely ground, plus more to taste
1 red or orange bell pepper
5 garlic cloves
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed
1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
3/4 cup small dried red chiles (23 grams; see Tip)
3 large scallions, cut into 1/2-inch lengths

Steps:

  • Mix the shrimp, Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a bowl until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let stand while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Stir the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, Sichuan pepper and remaining teaspoon cornstarch in a separate bowl. Dice the bell pepper and thinly slice the garlic. Have all your ingredients ready next to the stove.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat for 15 seconds. Add the peanuts and stir until browned in spots, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the bell pepper and garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the pepper is bright and the garlic starts to become translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles and stir well, then add the shrimp with its marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are curled and just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the scallions and stir until glossy, about 15 seconds, then add the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1 minute. If any of the starchy sauce has stuck to the bottom of the pan, add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits. Taste and add more Sichuan pepper if you'd like. Immediately transfer to a dish and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, succulent shrimp, fragrant jasmine rice, and flavorful vegetables make all the difference in a great shrimp fried rice.
  • Cook the rice perfectly: The rice should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. If the rice is too soft, it will become mushy when stir-fried.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the rice and shrimp from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the shrimp and vegetables, and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add the rice and eggs last: This will help to prevent the rice and eggs from overcooking.
  • Season to taste: Add soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or ginger powder.

Conclusion:

Shrimp fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. It's a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and it's also a popular takeout dish. With a little practice, you can easily make shrimp fried rice at home that tastes just as good as your favorite restaurant. So next time you're craving shrimp fried rice, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
