Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen; wild-caught preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables: diced carrots, peas, and corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (red or yellow)
  • 3 green onions, sliced thin (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Dice carrots, bell peppers, slice green onions (keep white and green parts separate), and mince garlic. Rinse and drain frozen peas and corn if using.
  3. Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and spread evenly.
  4. Place shrimp on the griddle, spreading out to avoid crowding. Cook 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add a little oil if needed, pour in beaten eggs, and scramble quickly. When just set, push eggs to the side.
  6. Add garlic and white parts of green onions, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in carrots, peas, corn, and bell peppers. Cook 3-4 minutes until veggies are tender but crisp.
  7. Spread cooked rice evenly across the griddle. Let sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to get crispy, then stir and flip to crisp other sides.
  8. Return shrimp and scrambled eggs to the griddle. Pour 2 tablespoons soy sauce over the mixture and toss together. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  9. Drizzle toasted sesame oil and sprinkle green parts of the onions. Toss once more and remove from heat.
  10. Serve immediately, hot off the griddle or plated in warm bowls.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best crispiness. Cook shrimp separately to avoid overcooking. Let rice sit undisturbed on the griddle to develop a crispy crust. Substitute tamari or coconut aminos for soy sauce to make gluten-free. Can swap shrimp for chicken or tofu. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or griddle to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
