🍽️ Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Rice
Cook rice until fluffy. Let it cool slightly—day-old rice works best for fried rice texture.
2️⃣ Cook the Shrimp
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped shrimp and toss for about 1 minute (they’ll finish cooking later).
3️⃣ Add Veggies
Stir in peas and carrots. Cook 1 minute, just until slightly tender.
4️⃣ Fry the Rice
Add cooked rice to the pan and raise heat to medium-high.
Gradually pour in soy sauce (and optional teriyaki/Mandarin sauce).
5️⃣ Toss & Finish
Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until shrimp is fully cooked, rice is coated, and everything is hot and fragrant.
6️⃣ Serve Hot
Enjoy immediately—straight from the pan for maximum flavor.
