Why order take-out? This homemade version is so much healthier, cheaper and tastes a million times better!
I absolutely love ordering take-out, especially when I’m exhausted out of my mind and I have absolutely no energy to even walk to the kitchen. But when I spend $10 on a measly shrimp fried rice with just 4 shrimps in the entire dish, I knew I just had to make a homemade version. After all, nothing beats homemade, right?
Now the best part about this fried rice is that it is completely customizable to your taste. You can swap out the shrimp for your favorite protein – chicken, pork , or even tofu to keep it completely vegetarian. As for the veggies, I like using a mix of onions, corn, peas and carrot but if you have more veggies just lingering in your fridge – feel free to add those in as well. The more, the merrier, right? And this can be made in less than 30 minutes – easy peasy.
Now who still wants take-out?
