Fried Rice
I had all this rice leftover from the swordfish- that was generally overcooked. So, the perfect option is to make fried rice!
Shrimp Fried Rice:
8 oz Shrimp
4 c pre-cooked rice
1 T ginger, minced
2 scallions, diced
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t cornstarch
3 eggs
1 c baby carrots, diced
1 c frozen peas
1 pepper, diced
1 c bok choy, chopped (I had it leftover from the swordfish too!)
2 T soy sauce or tamara
2 T fish sauce (optional, but I had it)
1 T basil, chopped
Peel and devein the shrimp. Toss with cornstarch and salt and pepper. Heat pan with 2 T oil, and once hot, saute on each side for 1 minute, almost cooked through. Set aside.
While shrimp cooks, crack eggs and beat lightly. Once shrimp are done, add the eggs to the pan and scramble until just almost done. Add to the shrimp set aside.
In the pan, add 2 T oil, and add scallions and ginger. Then, add rice. Do not stir- but leave to cook for 2 minutes on high. Then toss, and fry for 2 more minutes.
Meanwhile, put the diced carrots into a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes.
On top of the rice, sprinkle in the soy sauce and fish sauce. Add the carrots, peas, pepper, and bok choy. Add the shrimp and eggs back. Toss to heat.
