Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Proteins

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Grains and Oils

  • 3 cups cooked day-old rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the vegetables and green onions. Peel and devein shrimp if needed. Cut smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces. Ensure the cooked rice is ready; day-old rice works best.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add smoked turkey bacon and cook until crispy and browned. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside with the bacon.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add more oil if needed. Toss in chopped garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add mixed vegetables and cook 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: Push vegetables to one side. Pour beaten eggs into cleared space. Let cook briefly, then gently scramble until softly fully cooked.
  5. Combine With Rice and Sauces: Return shrimp and smoked turkey bacon to the pan. Add cooked rice and toss together. Pour in soy sauce (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to taste, stirring well to coat evenly.
  6. Final Touch and Serve: Stir in sliced green onions and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for drier texture that fries better.
  • Cook on high heat for proper searing and flavor development.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Adjust soy and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce amounts to taste.
  • Prepare all ingredients beforehand as the cooking process moves quickly.
