How To Make seafood fried rice
-
Step 1Prepare rice:1 cup uncooked rice 1 ¾ cups water, 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon butter Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir once. Cover with tight fitting lid or foil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand (covered) for 10 minutes longer. Set aside. This is for approximately 3 cups of cooked rice.
-
Step 2Scallops: Rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry scallops. Salt and pepper the scallops.
-
Step 3Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Set aside.
-
Step 4Shrimp: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tsp. butter to the hot skillet and sear the shrimps 3 minutes on each side or until curled and pink. Note: The tail can often be left on for cooking, but if you'd like to take it off now, pinch the tail where it meets the body of the shrimp and gently pull.
-
Step 5Veggies: On medium high heat, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the peas carrots mix, scallions, garlic and 1 tsp. butter. Stir fry until vegetables are tender. Lower the temperature to medium low. Push the vegetables off to the outer edge of skillet, creating a center in the pan.

Step 6Eggs: Gently, pour the eggs into the center of skillet. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.

Step 7Add In: Add rice and soy sauce, stir to combine.

Step 8Add the scallops and shrimp to the pan, blend evenly to combine.
-
Step 9Stir fry until all ingredients are thoroughly heated, about 3-4 minute, adding more soy sauce as needed. Serve immediately.
