Shrimp Fried Rice

Packed with veggies, eggs, soy sauce, and of course shrimp, this easy one-pot meal cooks in just 30 minutes. I add green beans to this recipe but feel free to include or substitute any veggie of choice. Broccoli, mushrooms, or asparagus would be great in here, too!

Notes

I rinse my rice before cooking so that it’s less starchy. 

Leftover rice is also perfect to use in this recipe!

I buy frozen, raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp from Costco. I thaw whatever I need the night before in my fridge. If you don’t thaw overnight, add the frozen shrimp to a bowl and pour warm (not hot) water over your shrimp. Let sit for 2 minutes, pour water out, and continue to do this about 3 times until the shrimp are thawed. Do not use hot water or the shrimp will start to cook.
