Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients by peeling and deveining the shrimp, chopping the vegetables, and cooking the rice ahead of time. It's essential to use cold rice for fried rice, so cooking it in advance and refrigerating it is recommended.

Step 2

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the vegetable oil, then pour in the beaten eggs to make a thin layer. Cook for about 1 minute until the eggs are just set, then remove from the pan and slice them into strips. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the shrimp. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Spread the rice evenly across the surface of the pan and let it fry for about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil into the rice, mixing thoroughly to coat all the grains.

Step 9

Add the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and sliced egg back into the pan along with the green onions. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 10

Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges for an added zesty flavor.
