Ingredients

Scale

4 cups cooked Jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 cup mixed bell peppers (diced)
1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
1 cup carrots (diced)
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 green onions (chopped)

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by chopping vegetables into small pieces.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, add diced vegetables and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Push aside, crack eggs into the pan, and scramble until set.
Add the cooked rice back into the skillet along with soy sauce and sesame oil; mix well to coat the rice evenly.
Fold in chopped green onions and cook for an additional minute before serving.
