A quick and easy fried rice recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle, featuring crispy edges, succulent shrimp, and fresh vegetables for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old and chilled
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 3 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or Sriracha (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Make sure your jasmine rice is cooked and fully cooled, ideally overnight in the fridge. Break up any clumps gently with your hands or a fork before cooking.
  2. Toss peeled shrimp with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half a teaspoon of soy sauce. Set aside while you prep veggies.
  3. Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and spread it evenly across the surface.
  4. Place shrimp on the griddle in a single layer. Cook about 2 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  5. Add remaining oil, toss in minced garlic and diced carrots, cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Add snap peas and red bell pepper, stir for another 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Push veggies to the side, pour beaten eggs into the cleared space. Stir gently until just set but still moist, then mix eggs with vegetables.
  7. Spread the chilled rice over the griddle. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a crispy bottom. Then stir and flip the rice to crisp the other side, about 3-4 minutes more.
  8. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and toasted sesame oil evenly over the rice. Mix everything thoroughly.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp to the griddle, toss gently to combine and warm through for 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a dash of red pepper flakes.
  10. Remove from heat, sprinkle sliced green onions on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Use day-old rice to prevent mushiness and achieve crisp texture. Let the rice sit undisturbed on the griddle to develop a crispy crust. If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a large cast-iron skillet or wok can be used but may not achieve the same crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and omit oyster sauce. Avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain crispiness.
