Shrimp Fried Rice
The first time I made shrimp fried rice, it was an impulsive lunch to use up a bunch of leftover rice and vegetables that were lingering in the fridge. Shrimp is often my go-to protein source to keep on hand in the freezer, as it thaws pretty quickly and we all love it. So, adding it to that batch of fried rice was a given.
For this recipe, I add a dash or two of Sriracha for a bit of extra flavor without much heat. Feel free to add more, or serve with Sriracha on the side, if you are looking for some real heat in your meal.
The recipe is as versatile as can be. Don’t have shrimp? any leftover meat will work. Dice it small and add it in. Peas aren’t your thing? substitute your favorite vegetable. Make sure that if you are adding carrots or peppers, you cook them long enough to avoid crunchy vegetables in your rice.
