Ingredients
-
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 large eggs, beaten
12 large shrimp (about 12 ounces), peeled and deveined, tails on
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons minced garlic (about 4 large cloves)
1 cup snow peas, trimmed
4 cups day-old cooked long-grain brown rice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
onions, sliced crosswise (1/2 cup)
Lime wedges, for squeezing
Garnish: onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
Directions
The secret: Day-old rice. Its drier than freshly steamed rice, so it fries easily without sticking to the wok.
1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok over medium-high heat; swirl to coat. Scramble eggs, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds; transfer to a plate.
2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to wok, and heat until shimmering. Cook shrimp, tossing occasionally, until seared, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to a plate.
3. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil and garlic. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute. Add shrimp, and cook through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas, and cook until bright green but still crisp, about 1 minute. Stir in rice, and heat through. Add soy sauce, and stir to coat. Toss in scrambled eggs, breaking up any large clumps, and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze limes over fried rice. Garnish with onions.
