Shrimp Fried Rice

Shrimp Fried Rice

This **Arctic Shrimp Fried Rice** is a vibrant, flavor-packed dish that combines succulent shrimp, crisp vegetables, and fragrant shrimp oil for an unforgettable meal. The secret lies in the **shrimp head oil**, extracted by stir-frying shrimp heads with scallions and ginger, infusing the dish with rich umami depth. Blanched green beans and sweet corn add freshness, while rehydrated mushrooms bring a meaty texture. Partially thawed Arctic shrimp retain their moisture, ensuring tender, juicy bites. Quick stir-frying locks in flavors, enhanced by a hint of white pepper and cooking wine. Perfectly paired with fluffy rice, this dish is a delightful balance of textures and tastes, crowned with scallion flowers for a fresh finish. A must-try for seafood lovers!
