Improved Fried Rice with Shrimp

For a first go at Chinese food, or American Chinese food at any rate, I think the Pork Fried rice turned out okay.

However, I wasn't happy with the way I added the egg. You couldn't actually see the egg because it was all mashed up with the rice. And, I think it needed a bit more soy sauce and Sriracha.

After we used all the pork I decided to make the fried rice with shrimp.


I bought some raw shrimp that was frozen and cooked them myself in boiling water on the stove.

I shelled them and cooked them in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, Sriracha, and chopped onions for about 2 minutes on med-low heat to add some flavor.






Then I sauteed some broccoli and snow peas.

Next, I added the already cooked white rice to a pan contained heated soy sauce, oil oil, and rice vinegar. Once the rice was coated I added some Sriracha for heat.







After the rice has absorbed the liquid I pushed the rice to one side and added a bit more olive oil and two eggs to the empty side of the pan.

Once the eggs were almost cooked I mixed the rice back in and returned the shrimp and green veggies to the pan.






The Carnivore says this attempt at fried rice was much better. I think it looks better. He did add some more Sriracha though because he does like things spicy!
