Ingredients- Butter: 10g
- Onion: 1/2 (finely chopped)
- Garlic: 6 cloves (thinly sliced)
- Shrimp: 20 pieces (peeled, deveined, and prepped)
- Cooked Rice: 1.5 bowls (warm rice is best)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s prepare the ingredients for today’s fried rice! You’ll need thinly sliced garlic, finely chopped onion, and thoroughly prepped shrimp. For the shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back; this helps them cook evenly and absorb flavors better. Don’t forget the butter for that rich, savory aroma!
Step 2
First, melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. It’s important to melt it gently without burning to achieve that wonderful nutty flavor.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the sliced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté them together until the garlic is golden brown and fragrant, and the onions turn translucent and sweet. This step builds the flavor base.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to add the warm rice. Break up any clumps with your spatula and stir-fry until the rice is fluffy and well-combined. The aroma of butter, garlic, and onion will fill your kitchen, making your mouth water!
Step 5
Add the prepped shrimp and stir-fry quickly over high heat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the shrimp tough.
Step 6
Finally, season with salt to your taste. For an extra kick of flavor, add coarsely ground black pepper. Your simple and delicious Garlic Butter Shrimp Fried Rice is ready to be enjoyed!
