How to Make Shrimp Fried Rice A One Dish Meal

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and stir-fry until golden brown and crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Remove onions and set aside in a covered bowl.
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the wok and fry for 1 minute. Remove and add to the bowl with the onions.
  3. Chop all remaining vegetables (see ingredients list for amounts). You can prep these earlier in the day and refrigerate.
  4. In a bowl, combine 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined), 2 green onions (chopped), 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced), 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced), 1/2 cup celery (sliced), and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Cover and refrigerate.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tbsp water. Cover and set aside.
  6. 10 minutes before serving, heat 1 tbsp oil in the wok. Add the reserved fried onions and garlic, stir for 30 seconds.
  7. Add the shrimp mixture and stir-fry until shrimp turns pink (about 2-3 minutes). Do not overcook.
  8. Add 3 cups cooked rice and 1/2 cup frozen peas. Stir well to combine.
  9. Slowly pour the egg mixture around the edges of the wok, letting it cook as it flows into the mixture.
  10. Stir to combine. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional) and stir.
  11. Cook for 1 more minute and serve immediately from the wok!
