The ingredients for FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP are:

1 1/2 cups dry white or quick-cooking brown rice, (rice can be made up to a day ahead)
1/2 lb. peeled and deveined shrimp
2 Tbsp. sesame oil, divided
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3-4 scallions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed slightly
3 Tbsp. soy sauce, or more to taste
1/4- 1/2 tsp. black pepper, to taste

Here is how you make FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP:

Cook the rice according to the package directions. While the rice is cooking, saut? the shrimp in 1 Tbsp. oil over medium-high heat in large nonstick frying pan or wok for several minutes until it is cooked through. Remove the shrimp, tofu, or chicken from the pan and set it aside. When the rice is 5 minutes from done, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the eggs to the heated oil and cut them into small pieces with a spatula as they cook. Add the scallions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the rice, peas, soy sauce and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Add the cooked shrimp and stir to combine. Serve it immediately or refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Scramble Flavor Booster: Serve the fried rice with Asian chili garlic sauce or sweet chili sauce and/or extra soy sauce. Tip: For perfectly cooked tofu, use extra-firm tofu packed in water. Drain tofu thoroughly and wrap it in a clean dish towel for a few minutes to absorb extra water. Dice the tofu into 3/4-inch pieces. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Saut? the tofu over medium-low heat for 10 minutes or more, tossing occasionally, until it is golden brown. serving size 1-1/2 cupsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user EMCAZIER.
