HOW MAKE SHRIMP FRIED RICE

The trick to making the rice like something you would order as takeout is to cook the rice the day prior. You will find the remaining directions in the recipe card below!

CAN SHRIMP FRIED RICE BE FROZEN

Yes, HOWEVER be sure to cook the shrimp the day you want to eat it vs freezing the shrimp once cooked as it won’t be as good as freshly made.

CAN SHRIMP FRIED RICE BE REHEATED

Yes it can, either on your stove top or in your microwave.

HOW LONG DOES SHRIMP FRIED RICE LAST

I would store it in a air tight container up to 3 days in the fridge.

IS SHRIMP FRIED RICE BAD FOR YOU

Yes as it is packed with protein from the shrimp and eggs. 

WHERE IS SHRIMP FRIED RICE FROM

It originates in China.
