This healthy shrimp fried rice is a game changer. Truth be told, restaurant and fast food joint Shrimp fried rice taste soo good and smell great.
I was a huge fun of fried rice until I realized how fast food joint prepare their food with seasonings. These seasonings surprisingly, contain unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients that can have some serious effect on my health.
Naturally, I decided to create my own healthy shrimp fried rice. This is nutrient-dense and just as good and delicious without all the negative side effects of the ingredients. And above all, it is nutritiously delicious and kids-friendly.
This shrimp fried rice recipe has the most amazing mixture of flavors. For example, ginger, garlic, spices and mimic those heavenly aromas of the restaurant version. Super delicious and full of flavor.

A perfect vegetable-packed meal, this recipe is easy and quick to make. It require minimal kitchen utensils so cleaning up is a lot easier.
NOTE: To cook the rice, bring broth/water to a boil. (If using broth make sure to taste so to adjust salt accordingly.) Add 2 cups of rice, stir and reduce heat to medium. Allow to cook until rice is tender.
For a better result of the rice cooking faster and evenly, cover the rice with aluminum foil to trap steam before covering with lid.
