Note to the owner

1. The description of the culinary process suggests the best method for defrosting shrimp. It is not worth treating them like meat, that is, keeping them on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for a long time. There they will thaw too slowly, gradually losing the juice that formed inside them during the initial heat treatment - even before freezing.

2. Despite the fact that the time for boiling rice is stipulated here, you still need to independently monitor the stage of its half-readiness. Surely the housewives noticed that one type of cereal boils quickly, the other much more slowly. It is necessary to get 3-4 grains with a slotted spoon, rinse with cold water and bite them. If the middle is crunchy, and the outer part is softened, it's time to remove it from the burner.

3. Many cooks pour rice with shrimp before stewing not with water, but with fish broth. True, it is less often found in the refrigerator of most families than chicken or beef. But there is always stored saury or mackerel in its own juice. We add this liquid to boiling water, carefully straining it so that pieces of fish do not get into it, and we get the ingredient we need. What a wonderful smell the dish will acquire!

4. A handful of black rice mixed with white will transform the appearance of this dish and turn it into a savory delicacy.

Step 1: cook the rice.

The first step is to prepare the rice. To do this, put the cereal in a clean saucepan and rinse with cool water several times until the liquid becomes clear. Then pour the rice with clean cold water at the rate of 3 cups of water to 1 cup of rice and put everything on the stove. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes. Don't forget to cover the rice pot with a lid. As soon as all the water has boiled away, and the rice is ready, pour it into a colander and cool slightly.

Step 2: prepare green onions.

While the rice is cooking and cooling, prepare the rest of the ingredients. First, rinse the bunches of green onions under running water. And then cut them into slices. This can be done, of course, with a kitchen knife, but it is more convenient with special scissors.

Step 3: prepare the onion.

Peel the onion from the husk and chop it into small cubes or in any other way acceptable to you.

Step 4: cook rice with vegetables and shrimp.

When rice and other ingredients that require preparation are ready and waiting in the wings, it's time to start the main cooking stage. Therefore, heat up a frying pan and olive oil in it. Then add the onion and fry until golden brown, stirring all the time. Then open the package with a mixture of frozen vegetables and pour its contents into the lightly fried onions. You need to cook vegetables until all the water from them has evaporated and they become soft.


The next step is to add boiled rice and soy sauce to the vegetables thawed in a pan. Mix everything, sprinkle green onions on top. Also add other spices and salt if needed. Mix until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dish. You don’t need at all that the dish is in some places fresh, and in some places oversalted, so mix thoroughly.


Add the peeled frozen shrimp as the last ingredient. You don't need to defrost them first. Just add to the pan, mix with rice and vegetables. Now reduce the heat to the very minimum, cover the pan with a lid and cook the dish some more. 7-10 minutes. Do not forget to check for salt and other spices at the end, if everything is in order, then proceed to serving the finished dinner on the table.

Just offer soy sauce and, for example, lemon juice to pour over the rice. Enjoy the light taste of seafood yourself and treat others.

You can add various vegetables as you wish. It can be, for example, fresh carrots, bell peppers or small corn on the cob.

When adding soy sauce to dishes, keep in mind that it is very salty, so be careful when adding other spices.

Ground white pepper goes very well with this dish, as well as paprika and ginger, both dried and pickled.

Whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until they are no longer liquid, as in the photo. Transfer them to the bowl with the shrimp and set aside. You can cover with foil so that they do not have time to cool.

Finely chop the green onion. Wipe the pan with a paper towel and turn on the high heat again. Add a tablespoon of oil and sauté green onions until fragrant. If you take ordinary white, then you need to cook it until soft.

Add rice to the pan and mix well. Spread it in an even layer and cook for one to two minutes, stir and cook for the same amount. In the process, he should hiss, do not be alarmed. Pour in two tablespoons of soy sauce and mix well.

Defrost the vegetable mixture according to package instructions and drain well. Add it to the pan along with the sesame oil. I had peas and carrots, but corn and bell peppers work well too. If there was no sesame oil at hand, then it is better to exclude it altogether and not replace it with anything. It's just for flavor.

Add eggs and shrimp and mix well. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the rice is very hot and sizzling again. By now the vegetables should be soft. Taste the dish and add some more soy sauce if you like. Serve hot. The recipe is adapted from the English blog Natasha's kitchen. Many thanks to the author.
