  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Instructions

  1. Cook the Shrimp:
    In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and fry the shrimp until cooked. Set aside.

  3. Add the Rice and Veggies:
    Add the cooked rice, peas, and carrots to the pan. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
  4. Season the Rice:

    Once everything is well-combined and heated through, serve the fried rice immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe works best with day-old rice as it helps prevent the rice from becoming too mushy during cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute with other vegetables or proteins like chicken or pork.
