Salt and Pepper Shrimp Fried Rice is a combination of two Chinese well-known dishes: Salt and Pepper Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice. A classic meets another classic! There is glory in this love story!
Every ingredient completes the other as a good couple should. And the magic comes forth through the fusing of Garlic and Shrimp, Shrimp and Egg, Salt and Pepper, and Egg Fried Rice. The blending of flavors and textures make this fried rice as harmonious as it sounds. You have to try! If you love Salt and Pepper, you might also like my Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings too.
THE RICE
As you might have learned from some famous Chinese Cooks, it is better to use one-day old rice to make the perfect fried rice dishes. But if you don’t have leftover rice, it’s perfectly okay to cook the rice during the day and let it cool down before cooking. I use Jasmine Rice in my recipe.
SALT AND PEPPER MIX
For the Salt and Pepper Mix, I use Sichuan Peppercorns, Black Peppercorns, and Sea Salt. I like to toast the Peppercorns on medium-heat for about 1 minute before mixing with the Sea Salt to get the best fragrance.
