Treat yourself to this vibrant, spicy Chili Shrimp Fried Rice—it's an easy and delicious way to elevate a weeknight dinner!

1

Begin by cooking the rice. If using leftover rice, skip this step. Rinse 1 cup of rice until the water runs clear, then cook it according to the package instructions, typically about 20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff and allow it to cool.

2

While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the bell pepper and green onion, mince the garlic, and clean the shrimp by removing the shells and tails if necessary.

3

In a large frying pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4

Add the chopped bell pepper and shrimp to the pan, cooking for about 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

5

Push the shrimp and bell pepper mixture to one side of the pan. In the cleared space, crack the 2 eggs, scrambling them until fully cooked, around 2 minutes.

6

Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking apart any clumps. Stir to combine with the other ingredients and let it heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

7

Pour in the soy sauce and chili sauce, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated and heated, about 2-3 minutes.

8

Lastly, mix in the chopped green onion, reserving a pinch for garnish, and serve your Chili Shrimp Fried Rice hot!
