How to Make Easy Shrimp Fried Rice

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add chopped yellow onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in sliced green onions and soy sauce. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add cooked rice to the skillet and break up any clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the butter and soy sauce mixture.
  6. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Stir-fry for another minute, until heated through and steamy.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired. Enjoy with chicken stir-fry or on its own!
