Meal Prep
Shrimp Fried Rice
The High-Protein Shrimp Fried Rice is what happens when takeout flavor meets meal-prep discipline. Juicy shrimp, fluffy rice, and crisp veggies get hit with a soy-garlic-sesame trifecta that makes this dish taste way too good to be clean. It’s the kind of one-pan wonder that cooks in minutes but eats like a Friday-night cheat.

Cook and refrigerate the rice ahead so it is ready for the frying stage. Spread the cooked rice into shallow portions and refrigerate it promptly; leaving it out for a long cool-down is not the goal. Once chilled, break up the biggest clumps before they go into the skillet so you can spend the pan time frying and mixing rather than fighting one solid block.
The shrimp and scrambled eggs cook first and wait off the heat while the vegetables and rice come together. Use a large enough pan to turn everything, or work in batches. This recipe uses more dry rice than many of the other shrimp meal preps, so pan capacity matters. Divide from a well-mixed batch so the egg, peas, carrots, and shrimp are spread across all four servings.
For a refrigerated serving, microwave on high for 90 seconds, stir, then heat for another 45 seconds. Use that as a starting point and continue in short intervals as needed until the food reaches 165°F throughout. Stir thoroughly from the center and bottom during the pause, adding a small splash of water if the rice needs moisture. Add the reserved green onions after heating for a fresher finish. This is a useful stir-fry option when you want everything in one container, with more rice and noodle variations in the Asian-inspired archive.

This recipe came to be because I love fried rice... but I realized I had never MADE fried rice! So naturally, I had to make it my own, and make the macros work. Let me know if this one kept you out of the takeout line!
