Blackstone Shrimp Fried Rice
Blackstone Shrimp fried rice can be made healthier at home and can also be made faster than the time it takes to order some take out! This whole entire recipe can be made in under 1o minutes with the help of some steamer rice bags. Since discovering the frozen brown rice at Trader Joe's, it's so easy to whip this meal up in no time. I have yet to find a decent steamer rice bag here that compares to the ones that Trader Joe's has.
Soy sauce gives the rice it's brown color and I use frozen shrimp from Sam's Club. I just let it defrost in some water for about an hour or even less than that! You can add whatever frozen vegetables you like. I used peas, carrots, and some scallions. You can watch how this recipe is made in the video below. All it requires is one pot.

Ingredients Needed for Shrimp Fried Rice
- Vegetable oil or olive oil
- Garlic, minced - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
- Shrimp are a good source of protein, low in fat, and high in several important vitamins and minerals, such as selenium and vitamin B12.
- Cooked white rice - I really like the 90 second microwave rice packets. They are quick and convenient.
- Frozen peas and carrots, defrosted
- Soy sauce - Use a Low Sodium or if you don’t have that on hand go for Tamari or Coconut Amino Acids
- Sesame oil - is a vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds. It is commonly used in Asian cuisine due to its nutty aroma and flavor, as well as its high smoke point.
- Large egg, whisked - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Sliced green onions - optional garnish
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements. for garnish. Optional.

Recipe FAQS
Yes, it is recommended to preheat a griddle before using it. This allows for even heat distribution and can help prevent food from sticking. The exact preheating time may vary depending on the type of griddle and the desired cooking temperature, but a general rule of thumb is to preheat for about 5-10 minutes.
Any type of non stick skillet over a stove top will work just fine!
