Classic Shrimp Fried Rice with fresh shrimp, rice, green onions, peas, carrots, and sesame oil. Tips for making the BEST fried rice!
Do you ever have leftover rice in the fridge? A great way to use it up is to make fried rice! Fried rice works best with chilled leftover rice actually. Fresh rice can fry up a bit mushy. But leftover rice that had a chance to dry out a bit? Perfect for frying.
Pretty much anything can go into fried rice—usually a combination of veggies, beaten egg, and a protein such as the shrimp we are using in this recipe, or chicken, fish, or tofu.
Fish filets (whatever you like, I used catfish)
1 Lemon
1 Tbsp Capers
2 Tbsp Butter
Seafood magic seasoning
Liberally season your fish with an all purpose seafood seasoning blend.
Bring pan to med high heat, add just enough oil (EVOO) to barely coat the pan and add a couple tablespoons of butter. Place fish in pan and cook until nicely browned, about 4 to 5 minutes on one side….. Add in sliced lemon, a squeeze of lemon juice and a teaspoonful of capers. Flip the fish and cook another 4 to 5 minutes on other side, reducing heat to med.
We had this with tomato and arugula salad so guess what, that makes the entire dish keto friendly yet packed with flavor. Enjoy!
