Ingredients

• Large shrimp: peeled and deveined for juicy bites look for ones with a firm texture and no fishy smell
• Cooked rice: day old works best because the grains separate and do not get mushy
• Mixed diced vegetables: carrots peas corn deliver color and crunch use fresh or frozen for best flavor
• Eggs: add protein and create delicious scrambled layers throughout the rice use fresh eggs for fluffier texture
• Soy sauce: brings savory umami if you like lower sodium try a reduced salt version
• Oyster sauce: adds depth and a subtle sweet note look for a thick rich variety
• Black pepper: spices everything up grind just before using for freshest taste
• Green onions: provide freshness and color select crisp vibrant stalks
• Seasoned fried chicken wings: crispy outside with juicy meat I get mine from the deli but homemade is even better
• Egg roll: fried until golden buy from a good deli counter or roll your own if you have time
• Oil: for stir frying use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola so flavors shine
• Sweet chili sauce: packaged for dipping look for real chili flecks and a sweet tang

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Shrimp and Chicken Wings:

Pat shrimp dry and keep your fried wings and egg roll ready to go This makes for smooth assembly later on

Sauté the Shrimp:

Heat your oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high Get it hot enough so shrimp sizzle on contact Toss in the shrimp season with black pepper Sauté about three minutes until they turn pink and curl Remove from pan and set aside so they do not overcook

Scramble the Eggs:

In that same pan pour in your lightly beaten eggs Let them settle for a few seconds then gently push from the edges in Use low to medium heat so eggs turn soft but not dry Take them out just before fully cooked

Cook the Vegetables:

Toss your diced veggies into the skillet keeping heat medium high Stir fry for two minutes to brighten color and soften edges but keep a little crunch

Combine with Rice and Sauces:

Add your day old rice breaking any clumps with a spatula Drizzle soy sauce and oyster sauce over the top Toss to coat each grain evenly Stir over medium heat until everything is hot and fragrant

Finish with Shrimp and Green Onions:

Gently stir shrimp and chopped green onions into the rice Let them mingle for about a minute which brings flavors together and warms the shrimp through

Plate with Sides:

Heap the fried rice onto a serving plate Place your crispy chicken wings and the golden egg roll alongside Arrange so everyone gets some of each

Garnish and Serve:

Scatter extra green onions on top Set the sweet chili sauce packet nearby for dipping and dig in while everything is piping hot

Save

Shrimp is hands down my secret hero here Every time I peel those beauties and toss them into the hot pan their sweet aroma brings me right back to cooking with my dad on Saturday afternoons where we competed for who flipped the shrimp best

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be stored tightly covered in the fridge for up to three days I recommend separating the wings and egg roll from the rice to help everything stay crisp When reheating bring the rice back to life with a splash of water in the microwave and warm wings in the oven for best texture

Ingredient Substitutions

No shrimp on hand sliced chicken breast or tofu work well Frozen mixed veggies save chopping time and brown rice or cauliflower rice make tasty swaps for white rice If oyster sauce is missing try teriyaki sauce for a hint of sweetness

Serving Suggestions

Serve this plate as a complete meal with chilled cucumber salad or stir fried greens on the side A lemon wedge over the wings adds brightness For parties I like to double the recipe and let folks build their own plates with extra sauces

Recipe FAQs

→ How do I get the shrimp perfectly cooked?

Sauté the shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, which keeps them juicy and tender. Overcooking makes them tough.

→ Can I use fresh rice instead of day-old?

Day-old rice is best for fried rice because it’s drier and separates easily, but fresh rice works if you let it cool and dry out a bit first.

→ What dipping sauce goes well with this plate?

Sweet chili sauce provides a tangy, mildly spicy kick that complements both the shrimp and wings perfectly.

→ Are there substitutions for oyster sauce?

Try using hoisin sauce or a mix of soy sauce with a splash of Worcestershire for similar savory depth.

→ How can I keep the chicken wings crispy?

Serve immediately after frying and avoid covering them with foil, which traps steam and softens the crust.
