Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails on
Kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped watercress
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 cups cold cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop out onto a plate.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the watercress, carrots, peas, garlic, soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the watercress wilts and the peas heat through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, shrimp, and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the scallions and sesame oil and serve.

DIRTY BROWN RICE WITH SHRIMP



Dirty Brown Rice with Shrimp image

A healthier twist on a Cajun classic, the addition of shrimp turns this "dirty brown rice" into a fabulous main dish. I'd like to think of this as a Cajun shrimp fried rice. With Mardi Gras ending tomorrow, I thought this would be the perfect timing to share this recipe from the archives because I LOVE this dish!

Grain Bowl with Blackened Shrimp, Avocado, and Black Beans image

This blackened shrimp salad bowl is big and bold in flavor and makes for a low-calorie meal packed with shrimp, brown rice, corn, crisp bell pepper, black beans, and avocado. Easy to create with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen/pantry. If you prefer to serve burrito-style, just heat up some flour tortillas and wrap it all up. Either way, it's delish!
