Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute canola or avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but recommended)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium-high for about 5 minutes until hot but not smoking.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook on the griddle for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the griddle, pour in beaten eggs, cook until just set, then break into bite-sized pieces. Remove and set aside with shrimp.
- Add remaining oil to the griddle, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in peas and carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Add day-old rice in an even layer, press down gently with spatula and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to form a crispy bottom. Stir and repeat pressing once or twice more to develop crispiness.
- Mix shrimp and scrambled eggs back into the rice, pour soy sauce and oyster sauce evenly over the mixture, stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle sliced green onions on top, drizzle sesame oil, and give one last quick stir.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use day-old rice for best crispiness. Pat shrimp dry before cooking to avoid steaming. Avoid overcrowding the griddle and cook in batches if needed. Control heat carefully to prevent burning. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and ensure oyster sauce is gluten-free or use a mushroom sauce alternative.
