Shrimp Fried Rice

Fried rice is a popular staple in my house, especially when my kids were growing up. It is a good way of using left-over rice and vegetables. It is a very versatile dish; you can use any meat, vegetables or seasonings you like.  Some of the fried rice that I make for my family are salmon fried rice, garlic fried rice, adobo fried rice and shrimp fried rice.

Shrimp fried rice is my version of the popular Yung Chow fried rice. Both have shrimp as the main ingredient. Both also have eggs and green peas. For my fried rice, I added my favorite vegetables: red bell pepper and sweet kernel corn. Instead of using soy sauce, I use liquid seasoning to add flavor to my fried rice.

I love making fried rice for my family because it makes life easier for me. Instead of cooking rice and a dish, all I have to do is just make fried rice 🙂
