Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails on
Kosher salt

Stir in the scallions and sesame oil and serve.

VEGETABLE SHRIMP FRIED RICE



Vegetable Shrimp Fried Rice image

Someone once described to me their version of "the perfect fried rice". This is hardly "the best" by most culinary standards, I'm sure, but it fit their criteria to a tee: dark rice, (not brown rice, but white rice that is dark) separate grains, not sticky and oily, NO peas, NO carrots, EXTRA bean sprouts. I managed to solve my problem of getting the rice "dark", (without using sooo much soy sauce that it turned into a salt lick), by making the rice using vegetarian mushroom broth instead of water. I am by no means an expert in wok cooking, but I tried to describe to the best of my ability the frenzied way I usually make this rice. The key, I find, for all wok cooking is to have all you stuff prepped and ready to go, cuz once you start, there's no turning back! Also, be sure to have a plate ready for the cooked shrimp and egg when they're removed from the heat.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
3 cups cold cooked white rice, broken into separate grains
1/2 cup frozen organic peas, thawed
1/4 pound barbecued pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Salt

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove shrimp and reserve. Add eggs to wok and scramble until set, but still slightly runny. Remove from pan, breaking into bite-sized pieces, and wipe wok clean.
  • Return wok to heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the onions, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry until onion is half-cooked, 1 minute. Add the red pepper and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Add the cold rice, quickly spreading it all over the wok and tossing it to heat through, then fry for about 5 to 7 minutes. (Add a little more oil if the rice is sticking.) 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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, succulent shrimp, and fragrant rice are essential for a flavorful fried rice dish. Don't skimp on the quality of your ingredients, as they will greatly impact the overall taste.
  • Cook the rice properly: Perfectly cooked rice is the foundation of a great fried rice. Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking and use the correct water-to-rice ratio. Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a large wok or skillet: A large cooking surface allows you to spread the rice and vegetables in a thin layer, ensuring even cooking and preventing the rice from clumping together.
  • Heat the wok or skillet properly: A hot wok or skillet is essential for achieving a nice sear on the rice and vegetables. Make sure the wok or skillet is smoking hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients to the wok or skillet matters. Typically, start with aromatics like garlic, ginger, and onions, then add the vegetables, followed by the shrimp, and finally the rice.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce are common seasonings used in fried rice, but you can also add other spices and herbs to your liking.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best enjoyed fresh out of the wok or skillet. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and color.
