Fried Rice is the second most popular main dish in Kolkata and the best combination with that is chili chicken. But Thai Shrimp Fried Rice is a complete meal. We don't need any side dish along with that besides a cold drink.More over you can replace shrimp with chicken,paneer, duck meat or whatever you prefer.So lets begin the process.
Ingredients:
**Before cooking clean the shrimp properly.
1.Pull off the head,shell and legs from the shrimp
2.Don't remove the tail.
3.Make a slit along the shrimp's back with a knife. Cut it in about 1/4 inch. The flesh will peel open and reveal a black or white "vein" just beneath the surface. Remove the vein gently with your hand and then wash it of properly.
4.make sure to drain all the water from the shrimp before cooking.
Procedure:
Ingredients:- 2 cup rice
- 10-15 shrimp/prawn
- 2 Eggs
- Sliced green bell pepper 1/2
- Sliced red bell pepper 1/2
- 1 cup of broccoli (cut it in small pieces)
- Sliced white mushroom 6-7(optional)
- Sliced onion 1/2 cup
- Chopped garlic 1 teaspoon.
- Soya sauce 2 table spoon.
- Chili-garlic sauce or Chili sauce 2 teaspoon
- Oyster sauce 2 teaspoon (optional)
- Salt as per taste.
- 1/2 cup of oil
- 1teaspoon butter(optional)
1.Pull off the head,shell and legs from the shrimp
2.Don't remove the tail.
3.Make a slit along the shrimp's back with a knife. Cut it in about 1/4 inch. The flesh will peel open and reveal a black or white "vein" just beneath the surface. Remove the vein gently with your hand and then wash it of properly.
4.make sure to drain all the water from the shrimp before cooking.
Procedure:
- Cook the rice till its completely done. I prefer to take Basmati but you can use anything you prefer. If you are cooking it microwave or rice cooker then add 4 cups of water , 1/2 teaspoon of salt and let it cook till its done.
- Take a non stick pan and pour some oil into it. Put it in high heat.Now break the egg and pour it directly into the oil. Add some salt on top of it and keep on stirring it till its completely done.Then take it out in bowl.
- Now add 1/2 cup of oil into the pan and put it in medium heat.Let it warm up a little bit then add chopped garlic.Let it fry for 1-2mins and then add the shrimp.After that pour the soya sauce and let it fry for 5mins. Add broccoli,salt and oyster sauce and let it fry for another 5 mins. Oyster sauce is optional. If you don't want then you don't need to add it.It just helps to remove the smell of shrimp.So if you are not using oyster sauce you can simply marinate the fish in lemon juice for 10min before cooking.Now cover the lid of then pan and let it cook for 5-10 mins in low heat.
- After 10mins add onion,mushrooms,red and green bell pepper and give it a gentle mix.Again mushroom is optional. If you don't like it then don't add it. Moreover instead of bell pepper or along with bell pepper you can add sliced carrot and green peas as well. Cook the vegetables for another 1-2mins. Just keep in mind we want the vegetables to be crunchy not fully cooked. Then add chili garlic sauce or chili sauce whatever you prefer.
- Keep on adding rice into it slowly. Don't add all the rice at one go. First add a cup of it and then mix it and keep on going like that till you are done with all. Then add the egg bhurji or scrambled egg and mix it well.
- Finally add some salt, but keep in mind that we have already added salt on the vegetables,shrimp,eggs and the rice separately. So before adding salt just do a quick check.If it requires more salt then only add it.
- After that turn off the heat and add the butter and give it a gentle mix. This is also completely optional. If you are health conscious and don't want to add extra calories as this is itself a heavy meal ,then just avoid this step.
- Your Thai Shrimp Fried Rice is all ready to serve now. Serve it hot and enjoy it with your family.
