Looking for a simple dish where you can use rice left overs? This easy fried rice with shrimps will save your day. If you are a seafood lover and always have a few pieces of shrimp in the freezer, definitely give it a try. Vegetables are also up to you. You don’t have to strictly follow the recipe.
Useful Tips
Tip 1.: I strongly recommend using rice from the previous day.
Tip 2.: A wok pan would be the best choice but not everyone has one at home. Use a large pan so that you don’t have a huge pile of rice because you won’t fry it well. And use high heat.

Fried rice with shrimps
Easy fried rice where you can use rice left overs.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the spring onion into thin slices and the iceberg salad also in smaller squares.
- If you use the bigger shrimps, you can cut them into smaller pieces.
- Crack the egg into a bowl (you can also add salt).
- Heat the pan, add vegetable oil and then the egg, "break" it into smaller pieces by stirring, it does not have to be completely fried. Put the egg aside into a bowl.
- Add the shrimp, salt and white wine/sake to the same pan. Fry for a while until they change color. Also put aside.
- Add the sesame oil and onion to the pan, fry a little, then add the rice. Mix well so you don't have big chunks of rice. Then add the egg with shrimps. Mix well again and fry everything together for a while. Add soy sauce, salt and pepper and pieces of iceberg lettuce.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
