Creating Homemade Shrimp Fried Rice is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool and dry out slightly. Day-old rice works best for fried rice.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Add the Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked. Mix with the vegetables.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice to the pan along with the shrimp. Stir everything together until well combined.
7. Season the Rice: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauces.
8. Finish Up: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving.
9. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve your delicious homemade shrimp fried rice while it’s hot.

These straightforward steps will guide you to create an incredible dish that everyone will love!
