I usually make fried rice when I have leftover rice from another meal, which is how I came upon this recipe. It was a good base recipe, but I thought it needed a little embellishment, so I added garlic and ginger with the onion. Marinated the shrimp in soy sauce and five spice powder for 15 minutes, and started with raw shrimp rather than cooked. Didn't use salt and used red pepper instead of ground black pepper.

So yummy and I even healthy-ed it up! I used 3 cups of brown rice and one tablespoon of coconut oil (so good for you) and a splash of olive oil in place of ALL the vegetable oil. I added a few chopped mushrooms and chopped cooked carrots in place of the bean sprouts. I also scrambled the eggs before adding them.

i didnt use the sesame oil or bean sprouts, instead i added mushrooms. i would suggest scrambling the eggs seperately and adding it last. very easy and tasty

Very disappointing but perhaps the 4 tablespoons of soy sauce is a misprint.

We made this for my mother n law's 60th b'day and it came out great. It was simple, and very tasty. I used some of the same tips that others suggested in the reviews...i made a well between my rice, and let the eggs cook a little before mixing it all up. I also used Zatarains rice, on the package it says it does not get sticky. and it didnt. I just cooked the rice, made sure not to over cook, then I rinsed it with cold water until, it was cooled...it turned out great.

WOW! I gotta say, this is the best shrimp fried rice I have ever had! I did follow one review, and added 1 tsp. of sesame oil instead of 1/4 tsp, and my shrimp was pre-cooked, which I then added at the last 4 minutes with the oil/onion/etc mixture. I doubled the rice, and made it the day before as suggested by members. When I served it, I sprinkled chow mein noodles on top. And THIS is a KEEPER recipe! Thanks so much!

The eggs should have been cooked in a separate skillet alone and then added in, instead of added into the mixture to cook altogether. Because of this one step the entire dish was slimy
