Yummy! I put the shrimp in last for 2 minutes, just enough to warm and mixed it in with everything else for the flavors. Thanks for your post Kelliann. We ended up with a bit more soy sauce to our taste but I use the low sodium type requiring the added flavoring.

I added some snow peas from my garden, used olive oil instead of sesame oil, only used 1 tbsp of soy sauce and no salt. I also used fresh sprouted mung beans which I threw in at step 3 as others have mentioned. I cooked the rice the night before so it was refrigerated and therefore non-sticky. I always do that for fried rice. I also doubled the amount of shrimp and added two minced garlic cloves. Even my finicky wife liked it -- mentioning only that I should have made more.

Made this last night and was really proud of myself on making my own shrimp fried rice! LOL I love Chinese food and this is definitely something that I will be making again. I did like a few others suggested and made a well in the middle to cook the eggs in which made it easier and when they started to set, I scrambled them a bit, THEN mixed them with everything else. I didn't have the bean sprouts but did add frozen peas and cut up carrots in mine along with the green onions, DELISH!!! Made enough to have for lunch for the next couple days.

This was really good. So quick and easy! I used brown rice that I had previously cooked and cooled. If your rice is already made, the rest of the dish takes 15 minutes. After getting the onions and rice going, I took another reviewer's advice and just moved the rice over to add and cook the eggs in the same skillet. I marinated the shrimp (chopped up) in garlic and soy first. So easy! The recipe is still slightly bland, so I would recommend more soy sauce, maybe an extra egg, a touch more sesame oil, and if you like heat, a little chili sauce. I will definitely make this again with a few tweaks. Paired this with lightly sauteed zucchini I shredded with my mandoline and added some basic peanut sauce to. They went together very well! Thanks OKBAT, I will be back!

I prepared this dish for my family and it came out perfect, but I put my twist on it and it was very good. Instead of white Rice I used instant whole grain Rice and added salt to the water. The veggies were add according to the recipe, but I cooked the shrimp and eggs before adding to the rice. I also used 4 eggs instead of 2 and salt and pepper to the eggs. The dish wasn't to salty, season to taste.

This was delicious! I made some minor changes. I steamed some fresh broccoli, sugar snap peas and red bell peppers and added it to the skillet, last. I also used low sodium soy sauce. I pushed the rice mixture to the side of the skillet and scrambled the eggs in the middle. Be sure to use fresh ground pepper. Yummy!!

It was too salty. I should have read the reviews before making it :( I added more rice later and it helped. I agree with the recommendation of slightly cooking the eggs on the side of the pan instead of pouring the eggs straight into the rice and mixing it together. I will try again, but next time I will make some changes.

This was ok, but what I do to make shrimp fried rice is even easier. I make the rice a roni fried rice, cook the shrimp with garlic and chopped onion, then add some soy sauce to the pan then mix it together with the rice a roni. Its easy, and even easier to serve with egg rolls, straight from the freezer!! Simple as 1 2 3!! Yeah i know its cheating to use the boxed stuff, but the seasonings are already in the mix, so why not take a lil short cut?
