Notes

Pro Tips:
Watch your shrimp closely while cooking—they only need 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery and loses its delicate texture. Toast rice briefly in butter or oil before adding liquid—this improves texture and prevents the rice from becoming mushy.
Storage & Meal Prep:
Store prepared mouth-watering Shrimp Fried Rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat in the microwave or oven depending on the texture you prefer.
