Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 cup mixed bell peppers, diced (red, yellow, and green)

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

4 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Shrimp: Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

      Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

        Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss in the mixed bell peppers and frozen peas and carrots. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

          Add Rice: Add the day-old jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together and let it fry for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to crisp slightly.

            Eggs in the Mix: Push the rice and vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until just set, then mix them into the rice.

              Season the Dish: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir everything together, cooking for another minute or so. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

                Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
