Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Pour in the 2 beaten eggs and scramble until just set, about 1 minute. Push to one side.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 cup frozen peas and carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes until heated through.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together, breaking up clumps, until rice is hot and slightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return the shrimp to the skillet, toss to combine, and cook for 1 more minute until everything is well mixed and heated through. Serve hot.
