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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
  • Clean and devein the shrimp properly. This will remove any impurities and make the shrimp more tender. To clean the shrimp, simply remove the head and shell. To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will ensure that the shrimp have enough space to cook evenly. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can cook the shrimp in batches.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the shrimp will not cook evenly. Cook the shrimp in a single layer so that they have room to brown.
  • Use high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and give them a nice golden brown color. Be sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent the shrimp from burning.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to watch them carefully. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Add your favorite vegetables. This is a great way to add some extra flavor and nutrition to your stir-fry. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, snow peas, and bell peppers.
  • Serve immediately. Shrimp stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the shrimp are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Shrimp stir-fry with rice is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious shrimp stir-fry that your family and friends will love.
