When I read Donna's blog and Susan's blog this morning, I knew what I'd be having for dinner tonight!
Donna made her Special Fried Rice with carrots, peas, garlic, ginger, red bell pepper and scrambled eggs. BTW, did you know that Donna cheats? Yes, it's true.
Oh, no! Donna doesn't cheat on her FFH... that's not what I meant at all! Donna cheats and buys the rice for her dish from the Chinese restaurant down the street!
Susan made Thai Pineapple Fried Rice with garlic, ginger, bell pepper, fresh pineapple and cashews!
Both of these dishes looked so great and I have to confess... I've never made fried rice before! Why?? It's so easy! It happens so fast! With a little prep work, by the time you start cooking, dinner will be on the table in a matter of minutes!
Shrimp is one of my gardener's favorites, so I decided on Shrimp Fried Rice. It was delicious and this recipe makes plenty for two for a main dish. Go ahead and make it tonight!
Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! I'm surfing during lunch and this looks so much better than my lonely sliced pear.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great dish! I love fried rice, and when shrimp is added I can't resist!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had shrimp in a while. Mmm. I'm hungry for this right now and it's still breakfast time!
ReplyDeleteKare, we have strange breakfast tastes in our house. We either have an Asian soup - a pho - or fried rice. Yours looks wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, fried rice. I haven't made it in forever, I should fix that.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!!!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! I love friend Rice---oops a misspelled word. Fried Rice. Either way, it looks good!
ReplyDeleteyum, i wish i'd had this for lunch today
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy, must put shrimp on the shopping list! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeletePeace, Judi
Mmmm, shrimp fried rice sounds so much more fantastic than the hot dogs and brown beans we're having tonight. Adding to the grocery list now. How did it turn out?
ReplyDeleteThat does sound really good and I just got some shrimp too!

ReplyDeleteOh Karen, what a brilliant idea to add shrimp!! Me? heat? Hahahaha,Im such a prude my husband is lucky he gets any action at all;)
ReplyDeleteLooks terrific, truly and thanks for the mention!!XXXOOO
Yummy!! This looks amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThe rice looks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteFried rice is one of my favorite foods - so easy, so tasty! Last Christmas I asked Santa for one of those fancy electronic rice cookers - I found out alot of Asian chefs use these - they make sushi rice in them. Well, rice could NOT possibly be easier!! I love this cooker.
ReplyDeleteEver since I saw Donna say that, I keep thinking I need to get rice from my local Thai place, and let it sit overnight... why I have also not made fried rice at home is beyond me. It's such a perfect meal and yours looks great - love the chives on top!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I was responding to a comment on my fried rice post when I just discovered your link. Many belated thanks! I was inspired to make the rice by another blogger, so I'm tickled that the chain of inspiration keeps going on! :)
