Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing the ingredients. If you haven't done so already, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions and allow it to cool. Day-old rice works best for fried rice.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them gently. Cook until the eggs are fully set. Remove the eggs and set aside with the shrimp.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry the rice for about 3-4 minutes until it’s heated through.
  5. Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet with the rice. Add the chopped green onions and drizzle the light soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes to ensure everything is heated evenly.
  7. Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious shrimp fried rice!
