Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 pound medium fresh shrimp, cleaned ( about 20 shrimp)
- 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots blend (I throw it in frozen, no need to thaw)
- 1/2 cup corn (I use frozen corn, and put it in frozen)
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped ( I use the garlic in the jar already chopped to save time)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cups cooked rice (I used white) . To save time use two 8.8-ounce pouches cooked and ready-to-serve rice.
- 3 green onions, trimmed and sliced
- 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- To a large non-stick skillet or wok, add the oils and shrimp. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, flipping to cook through. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and allow the oils and cooking juices to remain in skillet. Set shrimp aside on a plate.
- Add the peas, carrots, and corn to the skillet or wok and cook until the vegetables soften, about 2-3 minutes, making sure to stir regularly.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, stir
- Move vegetables to one side of the skillet, add the eggs to the other side, and scramble
- Add the shrimp, rice and green onions to the skillet or wok and evenly drizzle with soy. Cook for about 2 more minutes and season with salt and pepper
- Mix everything together, serve and enjoy
- Store left overs in an airtight container in refrigerator for about 4 days.
