Very, very good! I had some lightly steamed asparagus on hand so I used that instead of the frozen vegetables. Cut them into 1" pieces. I also used large, raw shrimp cut into 1" pieces and let them cook during step #3. I cooked it all until the shrimp was done. I added two scrambled eggs at the very end and stirred them all in. I didn't have any green onions but I wish I had! I will definitely make this again.

Shrimp fried rice is one of my most favorite meals when we go out for Chinese. I have even attempted to make it at home but I have yet to find a great recipe. I can never get it like in the restaurants. This looks too yummy not to try it. Perhaps my error was using cooked rice.

I agree with . This sure does look delicious. Come to think about it, the take-out version is so packed in the container that it comes in does not look any thing like this. This is what is for dinner tonight.

This looks like it'd be way better than take-out.

Who cares if it is or isn't authentic. It is mighty good. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful choices of food from Mr. Food. Good heavens, if it isn't authentic enough, just don't bother with it.

It's interesting that the picture shows Geen beans,carrots, corn and peas when the recipes only includes peas.

Authentic Chinese is available if you go to Chinatown whether you live in Montreal or Toronto, there are authentic restaurants and authentic chinese cookbooks. Perusing in books may be helpful as they give you other ideas about what to make.

Picky picky picky , I looked high and low and no where do I see the word Chinese.You want authentic go to China. You probalbly think Corn Beef and Cabbage is an auathentic Irish dish.

Oops, does say Chinese, Still I have been to China and Chinese restaurant food here is seldom authentic Chinese. I can go to Chinese buffet and eat almost everything. In China I had a hard time eating more than one or two items they serve on Lazy Susans.

Not even CLOSE to "authentic".

I can tell from just looking that this isn't going to fool anyone into thinking it's from "the most authentic Chinese restaurant in town". Authentic fried rice uses cold (leftover) cooked Jasmine rice, raw shrimp (prawns, not "salad" shrimp), dark soy sauce (only available in Asian supermarkets), Shaohsing rice wine, sesame oil, egg, and fresh ginger along with peas & carrots (frozen are okay), scallions . . . and sometimes water chestnuts and/or bean sprouts. I've worked for YEARS to get it right! The above recipe probably tastes good in it's own right, but is not even close to "real" Chinese fried rice.

This taste ok, but it is by no means fried rice. At best this is a variation of Zataran's rice and shrimp dishes.

Mr Food was right it was OOOH IT'S SOO GOOD!! I made this for supper tonight and boy it was good. Definately will make it again,it was really easy to make. next time i might experiment with some stir fry pork instead of shrimp.

My husband made this last nite used fresh shrimp and our own veggies, carrots, water chestnuts, onions. Made exactly like the recipe says it it was wonderful. Will definately have this again.

Thanks, that's how I do it also, I include couple different kinds of mushrooms and baby corn too. A little green onion tops in a scramble egg is added for color presentation. Sprinkling a very little amount of sesame seeds also give it pizzaze as well.

This is the best online recipes that I have ever received.

Wow, this is Sundays' dinner,,,yum.

outstanding!

When you put the rice in the pan with the oil it will should be raw. Then after it has browned you want to add the broth. Then follow the rest of the directions...

should the rice be cooked 1st?

If I read the recipe right, the rice was the first thing cooked in the oil. Did someone read that differently? Or am lost somewhere. Thanks.

Since they are using instant rice, it needs to be basically rehydrated. Brown it up uncooked first in the oil, then add the broth to rehydrate the rice and go from there. You could also change this up and use already cooked rice and forego the broth thing and actually make stir fried rice with the shrimp or any other meat/poultry of choice. But this would be a nice and quick way and I will try this recipe.
