Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (pound) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 ½ cups frozen veggie blend (peas and carrots)
- 1 cup frozen sweet corn
- ½ cup green onions, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsps sesame oil
- 2 tbsps vegetable or canola oil
- 4 tbsps low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper, optional or to taste
Instructions
- Sear Shrimp: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil. Sauté raw shrimp for 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden-brown and caramelized. Remove shrimp and reserve on a separate plate.
- Aromatic Base: In the same skillet, add sesame oil, then quickly sizzle garlic and ginger for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, releasing their intense flavors.
- Vegetable Medley: Introduce frozen mixed vegetables and half the green onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until vegetables soften and become slightly tender. Create a small space in the skillet and scramble eggs until fluffy, then integrate with vegetable mixture.
- Final Fusion: Return seared shrimp to the skillet, add pre-cooked rice, and drizzle with soy sauce and mirin. Stir thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly and heat for 2 minutes, ensuring a harmonious blend of ingredients.
- Serve: Garnish with remaining green onions and plate immediately, presenting a vibrant and aromatic one-pan culinary creation.
Notes
- Shrimp Selection: Choose medium-sized, deveined shrimp for quick and even cooking, ensuring tender and flavorful results.
- Vegetable Timing: Avoid overcooking vegetables to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant colors, which enhances the overall dish’s visual appeal.
- Heat Management: Control skillet temperature to prevent burning garlic and ginger, as they can quickly turn bitter and compromise the dish’s delicate flavor profile.
- Rice Preparation: Use day-old cold rice for better texture and to prevent clumping, allowing each grain to separate beautifully during stir-frying.
