Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 pound Medium or large shrimp
- 1/2 cup Frozen peas

Instructions
- In large wok or non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once heated, add shrimp and cook 3-4 minutes. Flip shrimp and cook another 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon (we want as much liquid from oil & shrimp as possible) and place shrimp on a plate; set aside.
- Add frozen peas and carrots; cook for about 2 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften and stir often to prevent from sticking.
- Add garlic & ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Move vegetables to one side of skillet. Add eggs to the empty side and scramble. Stir as necessary.
- Add shrimp back to skillet with rice, green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir all to combine. Season with salt and pepper if needed, to taste. Cook until everything is heated.
- Add green onions to top it off.
