Servings: 4
Equipment
- Rice cooker optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 lb frozen shrimp thawed
- 3 green peppers sliced
- 1 package (8 oz) mushrooms sliced
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp oil divided
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare rice in a rice cooker without adding salt, as the soy sauce will provide saltiness. Alternatively, cook rice on the stove according to package instructions.
- Prepare Ingredients: Quickly defrost the shrimp under cold running water if needed. Slice the green peppers, mushrooms, and chop the onion and garlic.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, followed by green peppers for 4 more minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Divide the Stir-Fry: Using a second frying pan, divide the cooked vegetables equally between both pans. Add 1 tbsp oil to each pan.
- Combine with Shrimp and Rice: Add half of the cooked rice to each pan and mix, followed by half of the thawed shrimp to each pan. Stir until well combined.
- Add Eggs and Season: Make a small well in the center of each pan and crack an egg into each. Stir quickly to scramble the eggs before they set. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce to each pan, stirring to coat the ingredients. Add pepper to taste.
- Serve: Remove from heat and enjoy! This dish reheats well, making it a great leftover meal for the next day.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, let the shrimp marinate in a little soy sauce and minced garlic for 10 minutes before adding it to the stir fry. This will enhance the overall taste of the shrimp.
- If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha sauce when you add the soy sauce for an extra kick!
