Shrimp Fried Rice

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!

  4. Kare, 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.

  15. Fried 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.

  16. Ever 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!

  17. Hi 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! :)
