Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup diced carrots
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Shrimp Fried Rice Stack

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and diced carrots, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the carrots are tender.
3. Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
5. Add the cooked rice to the skillet along with the soy sauce. Stir everything together, allowing the rice to heat through for about 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp and sliced green onions, mixing well.
6. To serve, layer the fried rice mixture into a stack on plates, creating a mound. Drizzle with extra soy sauce if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use day-old rice for the best texture; it helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
• Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the ingredients to achieve a good sear.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like peas, bell peppers, or corn for more color and flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
• Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or oyster sauce for added flavor.
• Add spices like chili flakes or ginger for a kick.

What to Serve With It

• A side of sesame cucumber salad for a refreshing crunch.
• Steamed dumplings for a heartier meal.
• A simple miso soup to complement the flavors of the fried rice.
