Fried Red jasmine rice with Shrimp
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and cut in 1-inch long julienne
8 large shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
6 cups Natural Life cooked red jasmine rice (2 cups uncooked)
1 bunch of chopped spring onions
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped coriander
FOR THE GARNISH
Chopped coriander
Thinly sliced cucumber
Lime wedges
Chopped spring onions
Fish sauce with hot chilies
Chopped roasted peanuts
PREPARATION
Heat a large wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the oil, tilt to spread across the pan, and add the carrot and shrimp. Stir-fry until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about two minutes. Add the garlic, and stir-fry just until golden, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the cooked Natural Life red jasmine rice. Stir-fry for about two minutes by scooping the rice up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again. The rice should have a seared taste. Add the spring onions and fish sauce, stir together for a half-minute to a minute and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle the coriander over the top, and serve, passing the garnishes of your choice. Diners should … definitely, squeeze lime juice onto their rice as it adds taste and aroma. Bon Appetit!
