Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, day-old is best for crisping
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  3. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet with the shrimp. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the same skillet, spreading it out in an even layer. Press down lightly with a spatula to encourage crisping.
  5. Cook the rice undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until a crispy crust forms on the bottom.
  6. While the rice is crisping, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
  7. Once the rice is crispy, break it up with a spatula and toss to combine the crispy and softer parts.
  8. Divide the crispy rice among serving bowls. Top with the garlic shrimp.
  9. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the shrimp and rice.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using day-old jasmine rice helps achieve a crispier texture.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.
