Make this Shrimp Fried Rice in less time than it takes to get take-out. It is super simple and tastes much better too! This fried rice features juicy shrimp, sweet green peas, crunchy carrots, scrambled eggs and lots of fresh scallions.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. When the wok starts to smoke a little, add the shrimp. Stir-fry until the shrimp are cooked (about 1 minute). Remove from the wok and set aside.
Add 1 more tablespoon of oil to the wok, followed by the eggs. Allow the eggs to set (about 30 seconds), then scramble the eggs with your wok spatula. Remove the eggs from the wok and set aside.
Add an additional tablespoon of oil to the wok, then stir-fry the onion and garlic for about 20 seconds or until aromatic.
Add the peas and carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
Pour the cooked rice into the wok, then drizzle soy sauce over the rice.
Stir-fry until the rice is evenly coated in the soy sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp and eggs to the wok. Add ground white pepper.
Turn off the heat, then add the chopped scallions to the rice. Stir to combine all the ingredients, then transfer to a serving plate or bowl.
