- 1 handful of shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/3 stalk of green onion (approx. 20g)
Seasoning Ingredients- 0.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- Pinch of salt (to taste)

- 0.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them naturally in cool water and pat dry. Finely dice the carrot. Thinly slice the green onion. It’s best to let the cooked rice cool slightly in a bowl before frying to prevent clumping.
Step 2
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a heated pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced green onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant, creating a delicious scallion oil. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 3
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add the thawed shrimp and diced carrots. Stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink and the carrots are slightly tender.
Step 4
Push the cooked ingredients to one side of the pan. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty space and scramble them until just cooked. Once the eggs are softly set, break them up and mix them with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Add the cooled rice to the pan. Using a spatula, break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry everything together until well combined. Ensure every grain of rice is coated with the fragrant oil and other ingredients.
Step 6
To add basic seasoning, pour 0.5 Tbsp of soy sauce around the edge of the pan. Let it sizzle for a moment before mixing it thoroughly with the rice. This caramelizes the soy sauce slightly, adding a deeper flavor.
Step 7
Finally, adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper to your preference. Finish with a light drizzle of sesame oil for an extra layer of nutty aroma, completing your delicious egg fried rice.
Step 8
Enjoy this tempting egg fried rice, studded with juicy, plump shrimp! It’s a satisfying and flavorful one-bowl meal that’s incredibly easy to make.
Step 9
For an extra touch, you can sprinkle generously with crumbled seaweed (gim) or serve with stir-fried kimchi on the side to mix in. This adds a delightful twist to the flavors.
Step 10
This perfectly cooked, fluffy egg fried rice is so delicious you’ll finish the whole bowl! Adding plump shrimp makes it even more delightful and satisfying. We highly recommend this for your next dinner!
