Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 2 cups frozen french fries according to package directions until crispy and golden, about 20 minutes in a 425°F oven.

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

    Add 3 cups cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and slightly toasted.

  5. Step 5

    Return shrimp to the skillet. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is well coated and hot.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the fried rice topped with crispy french fries. Drizzle with 2 tbsp sriracha and 2 tbsp mayonnaise before serving.

  7. Step 7

    Optional: sprinkle with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if you have them.
