Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 small chopped white onion
1 cup frozen peas and carrots thawed
3 beaten eggs
3 cups cooked rice*
3 tablespoons soy sauce more or less to taste
2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 pound large shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the shrimp for 3-5 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Returning to the skillet, add 1 small chopped white onion and 1 cup frozen peas and carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
Slide the vegetables to the side and pour 3 beaten eggs onto the other side. Using a spatula, cook and scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add 3 cups cooked rice* and the cooked shrimp to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons sesame oil, then stir until heated through and combined. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed, then garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.

Notes

Storing & Reheating Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in an oiled skillet—add a splash of soy sauce if it needs moisture.
