Easy Shrimp Fried Rice

Last week we were kind of in a slump for dinner, nothing really sounded good to us, nor had we taken anything out for dinner... has that ever happened to you before?  I hate it when that happens.  Well, I opened my fridge to see what we had so that I could come up with something and realized that we had stuff to make Shrimp Fried Rice. Anyone that knows me knows I love me some Chinese food, I can eat it pretty much any time/any day.

I whipped it up pretty quickly and I must say turned out pretty yummy!  It was one of those great, quick one pot meals; which really comes in handy for the days that you're running late, or didn't plan anything in particular for dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked rice 
• 3 tbs sesame oil
• 1/2  cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1/2 cup edamame (out of pods)
• 3 scallions
• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 lb shrimp
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for a kick

Directions:

• Heat a large pan with 2 tbsp of sesame oil and sautee shrimp just until pink
• Take shrimp out and let rest on a plate
• Heat remaining sesame oil and add cooked rice
•  add soy sauce
• Push all rice to one side of the pan and pour beaten eggs in, scramble eggs and mix in with rice
• add carrots, peas and edamame
• Sautee all together 
•  add shrimp and mix rice together
• Add scallions mix in and turn off eat
• Serve immediately

Enjoy!
