Equipment
- 1 Blackstone griddle (or tabletop griddle)
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 cups cooked rice preferably cold
- 1 cup pineapple diced, drained
- 1/2 cup peas frozen
- 1/2 cup carrots diced
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce plus more for taste
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 orange, small zest and juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste we use Susie-Q
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Add a little neutral oil to one side of the griddle.
- Toss shrimp with a little salt, pepper, and a splash of orange juice. Sear shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Move them to the cooler side of the griddle.
- Add a little more oil if needed. Pour the beaten eggs onto the hot griddle. Stir gently until just cooked, then move to the side with the shrimp.
- Add a drizzle of sesame oil. Toss on the carrots, peas, and garlic. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
- Spread the rice out over the griddle. Let it sit untouched for 30 seconds to lightly crisp. Add diced pineapple, zest of the orange, and a splash of soy sauce. Stir everything together.
- Fold shrimp, eggs, veggies, and rice all together. Add another drizzle of soy sauce and a squeeze of fresh orange juice to brighten it up.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
