Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
½ cup frozen corn
2 cloves garlic, finely minced, or more to taste
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups cooked rice

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, or more to taste
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove shrimp from the skillet using a slotted spoon, allowing oils and cooking juices to remain in the skillet. Place shrimp on a plate and set aside.
Add peas and carrots and corn to the skillet and cook, stirring intermittently, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet, pour eggs into the other side, and cook to scramble, stirring as necessary, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir shrimp, rice, and green onions into the skillet. Drizzle evenly with soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is reheated through, about 2 minutes.

EASY PEASY FRIED RICE

Easy Peasy Fried Rice image

This is a quick, easy side dish for any Chinese dish you might be serving. I usually use brown rice (personal preference) but I'm sure it's equally as good with white rice. I'm a big fan of the Onion Mushroom Soup Mix, but it is getting harder to find, so I'm sure you could substitute Beefy Onion, Golden Onion, or Onion instead.

Use the Right Rice (Almost Any Rice) Perfect fried rice is all about texture. I was looking for rice that had distinct grains, each with a slightly chewy fried exterior and a tender bite.
Plan in Advance if You Can, But Don't Worry if You Don't. I'd always heard that fried rice is best made with day-old rice, and that fresh rice will turn to mush if you try to fry it.
Rinse the Rice. This was an obvious one: Excess starchiness is what causes rice to clump. Nobody likes clumpy fried rice. If you are cooking your rice from raw in order to make fried rice, make sure to rinse off excess starch first.
Break Up the Rice. If you're using rice that has had a chance to clump or go stale, break it up before it goes into the wok. This will ensure that the rice separates into individual grains without breaking or getting crushed.
Use a Wok. While it's true that woks were not designed to be used on Western-style gas ranges, with their rings of burners, they are still far superior vessels for stir-frying than a skillet or saucepan.
Keep Things Hot. Very Hot. Here is where I've made the most fried rice mistakes in my life: not getting the pan hot enough, and cooking too much rice at a time.
Go Easy With the Add-Ins. Just as a plate of pasta is really about the pasta itself, not the sauce, fried rice is all about the rice. The mix-ins should all be flavor enhancers, not stars unto themselves.
Go Easy With the Sauce. Some fried rice recipes call for massive amounts of soy sauce, oyster sauce, or hoisin sauce. This has never made much sense to me.
Season Rice With Salt. That teaspoon of soy sauce will add some salt to the mix, but it's not enough to season the whole wok-ful. I prefer to season my rice with plain salt instead of more soy sauce, as salt will not add excess moisture, nor will it distract from other, more subtle flavors in the rice.
How to Add an Egg. Okay, this one technically isn't a rule, but eggs are so common in fried rice that it may as well be. There are many methods of adding eggs to fried rice, but I find that the simplest is best: Push the rice aside, add a little oil to the bottom of the wok, crack an egg into it, then scramble it right in the center of the wok, using the top of your spatula to break it up into small pieces and eventually tossing them with the rice for even distribution.
