Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably chilled)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 large eggs, beaten

3 green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

--

Instructions
 

Prep the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Scramble the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook for about 1 minute or until just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the eggs.

          Sauté the Vegetables: Add the garlic, peas, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

            Add the Rice: Increase the heat to high and add the chilled rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

              Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well to combine everything, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with sauce.

                Final Touches: Stir in the sliced green onions and give everything a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

                  Serve: Remove from heat and serve the shrimp fried rice hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
