Ingredients
Instructions
Place shrimp in a mixing bowl and top with salt and pepper. Toss to combine until all of the shrimp is coated in seasoning
Heat a deep, heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat
Once heated, add the avocado oil
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer
Cook 1-2 minutes, flip them over, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Just until they are pink and cooked through
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside
Add the chopped white parts of the green onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning
Add the garlic to the skillet with the onions and saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Just until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
Add the ginger and stir to combine
Add the frozen vegetables to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine. Let it cook through until the vegetables have thawed and heated through, about 5 minutes
Add the rice to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Mix to combine and heat the rice through
Add the sesame oil and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir until all of the rice is coated in the soy sauce
Scoot the rice to the edges of the pan, making a well in the center of the skillet
Whisk the eggs in a separate small bowl
Pour the eggs into the well you created in the center of the skillet
Continue to scramble the eggs in the skillet
Once the eggs are soft scrambled, stir them into the rest of the rice mixture
Sprinkle the remaining chopped tops of the green onions over the rice and enjoy!
