Ingredients


  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
  • 1 pound Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen veggie blend I used peas and carrots
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 4 cups cooked white rice 
  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • Salt and pepper optional or to taste

Instructions


1. Add vegetable oil to a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and cook shrimp until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

2. As soon as the shrimp are ready, remove them from the package and place them on a plate.

3. Add sesame oil to the same skillet and cook the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

4. After the veggies are added, stir for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften, like peas, carrots, corn, and green onions.

5. Add the beaten eggs to the other side of the skillet after pushing everything to one side. Stir the eggs to scramble them, and then cook them. Combine with the veggies once they have been cooked.

6. The shrimp and rice can be added back to the skillet after the shrimp has been cooked. Add the soy sauce and mirin, and mix well. After cooking for about 2 minutes, stir the shrimp and rice well to ensure they are well heated.

7.  When serving, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Enjoy!
