Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 green onions (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
- Fire up your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high heat. A well-preheated surface ensures that each ingredient gets the perfect sear.
- Prepare the Shrimp:
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook them on the griddle for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and develop a delightful sear. Set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- Push the shrimp to one side and pour the beaten eggs onto the griddle. Scramble them until they are just cooked, then mix them with the shrimp.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables:
- Add a drizzle of oil to the griddle and toss in the mixed vegetables and diced bell peppers. Stir-fry until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Infuse Flavor:
- Create a well in the center of the griddle and add garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant. Mix the aromatics with the vegetables and eggs.
- Introduce Rice to the Mix:
- Break up the day-old jasmine rice and incorporate it into the vegetable and egg mixture. Ensure an even distribution.
- Sauce it Up:
- Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Continue to stir-fry, allowing the rice to absorb the rich flavors of the sauces.
- Bring Back the Shrimp:
- Return the cooked shrimp to the griddle, tossing everything together to marry the flavors and ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- Finish with Green Onions:
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the fried rice. Toss once more to infuse that final layer of freshness.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Scoop the Shrimp Fried Rice onto plates or into bowls. Garnish with additional green onions if desired. Time to relish the savory perfection!
Frequent Questions: Q: Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe? A: Absolutely! Thaw the frozen shrimp before cooking, ensuring they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
Q: Is it necessary to use day-old rice? A: Day-old rice works best as it has a firmer texture, preventing it from becoming mushy during the stir-frying process. Freshly cooked rice may lead to a softer consistency.
