Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old
  • 12 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium to large size)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (yellow or sweet onion preferred)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Yum Yum Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, melted butter, and sugar until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil on the griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Sauté diced onions and shredded carrots for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: Push veggies to one side. Pour beaten eggs into empty space and scramble gently until just cooked but still moist. Mix eggs with veggies.
  5. Add Rice and Peas: Add day-old jasmine rice and thawed peas. Toss to combine, break up clumps. Spread rice out and let sit undisturbed for about a minute to crisp. Stir and repeat 2-3 times.
  6. Season the Fried Rice: Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over rice. Stir well and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Finish with Shrimp: Return cooked shrimp to pan. Toss gently and heat through for about a minute.
  8. Serve: Plate fried rice with shrimp and drizzle or serve yum yum sauce on the side. Garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Let rice sit briefly on hot griddle to crisp. Adjust soy sauce to taste due to varying saltiness. Yum yum sauce keeps up to a week refrigerated. Can swap shrimp for chicken, tofu, or beef. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
