Spring Onion (a handful), finely chopped

Marinating Prawns:

12 medium-size Prawns

Salt, to taste

1 teaspoon Chilli Powder

1 teaspoon Vinegar or Lemon Juice

1 teaspoon Soy Sauce

How to make Prawn Fried Rice Recipe / Shrimp Fried Rice

Step 1: Prepare and cook the basmati rice. When done, set the rice aside. For best results, cook the rice a day ahead and just store the cooked rice in the fridge to use the next day.

Step 2: In a bowl, place the prawns. Add the marinating ingredients (salt, chilli powder, vinegar or lemon juice, and soy sauce). Mix well until the shrimps are coated, then set aside.

Step 3: In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil. Once hot, add the prawns to the pan and cook them until curled and cook through. This takes about 3 to 4 minutes. Take the prawns from the pan when done and set them aside.

Step 4: Add the onions along with the garlic, ginger, green chillies, and capsicum in the same pan. Saute the ingredients for about a minute. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, and pepper. Then, add the cooked prawns and toss well. Add the rice and stir fry for another 2 minutes. Add a generous amount of spring onions and stir once.

Step 5: Serve the prawns fried rice hot. Enjoy!

Notes:

The key to perfect fried rice is cooking the rice. You want to make sure to cook the rice until fluffy. For best results, cook the rice a day ahead and just store it in the fridge and use it the next day.

To make sure the prawns will not be rubbery, do not overcook them.

Feel free to adjust the soy sauce, pepper, and vinegar according to your taste.
