Shrimp, Egg and Pea fried rice
- 1/2 lb shrimp
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sesame oil (or oil of your choosing)
- 1 large mild chili
- 1 tsp garlic cloves
- 1 cup frozen press
- 4 large eggs (beaten)
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt (less of regular salt)
- 2 cup Just made, or cold left over rice
- Get your rice going if making fresh.
- If using left over, leave it in the refrigerator, cold rice breaks up easier.
- Frozen or fresh shrimp can be used.
- If frozen, thaw per package directions.
- If fresh, peel and devein the shrimp.
- I used frozen, peeled and cooked here.
- I hate cleaning shrimp!
- Mix your shrimps ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix well, cover, let sit out for 10 minutes.
- Slice pepper into strips and mince your garlic
- Spray or oil a wok/stir-fry/skillet and set to high heat
- Add your shrimp to hot pan in a single layer.
- Leave alone for a minute.
- Flip each shrimp over.
- Leave for another minute, or until cooked through
- Remove to clean plate/bowl for now
- Re-oil pan, add pepper, fry for one minute, add garlic, fry for about 30 seconds, remove to shrimps plate/bowl
- Turn heat down to medium-high.
- Add eggs, salt and pepper.
- Keep eggs moving.
- Just before eggs are done, add frozen peas.
- Keep it all moving.
- At this point a little extra oil, or butter will give it some extra flavor and moisten the rice, if you desire.
- 1-2 Tbl.
- is good.
- Or leave it as is.
- I left this one as is, but my wife said it needed some butter.
- Add rice (2 cups seems about right)
- Stir until rice is mixed in and heated through.
- I like to turn the heat down to medium at this point, takes a couple extra minutes, but seems to limit scorching of bits here and there.
- Add your shrimp, pepper and garlic back in
- Stir for about 3 minutes, until it is mixed well, and all is heated through.
- I also put another grind of black pepper in.
- Serve.
- You can garnish with chopped green onion, cilantro or parsley (I was out, but like green onions)
