Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp butter divided
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • ½ lb shrimp small, cleaned, tail off and deveined
  • 2 medium carrots peeled, diced
  • 1 onion white, diced
  • ½ cup peas frozen
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups white rice cooked and chilled
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 3-4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil toasted sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp parsley garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 tablespoon butter to the pan and heat until melted
  • Add carrots, onion, peas, and garlic, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion and carrots are soft
  • Toss in the shrimp and cook through until no longer pink (about 5 minutes).
  • Increase heat to high, add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and stir until melted. Immediately add the rice, green onions, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and stir until combined.
  • Continue sautéing for an additional 3 minutes to fry the rice, stirring occasionally.  (I like to let the rice rest for a bit between stirs so that it can crisp up on the bottom.) 
  • Then add in the eggs and stir to combine. Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame oil until combined. 
  • Taste and season with extra soy sauce, if needed.
