Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for best texture)
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or avocado oil for higher smoke point)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and green parts separated)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • For the Yum Yum Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Kewpie mayo preferred)
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Water to thin, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add water a teaspoon at a time until smooth and pourable. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle to medium-high (around 375°F / 190°C). Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and spread evenly.
  3. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp on the griddle for 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry diced onions, shredded carrots, and white parts of scallions for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Push vegetables to the side and pour beaten eggs onto the griddle. Scramble gently until just cooked, then mix with vegetables.
  7. Add cold jasmine rice to the griddle. Break up clumps and spread evenly. Let sit for a couple minutes to crisp, then stir and repeat for maximum crunch.
  8. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over rice mixture. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Return cooked shrimp and green parts of scallions to the griddle. Stir gently to combine and heat through.
  10. Serve the crispy shrimp fried rice plated and drizzle generously with chilled Yum Yum sauce. Garnish with extra scallions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use day-old rice or chilled freshly cooked rice to avoid mushy fried rice. Do not overcrowd the griddle to ensure shrimp sears properly. High heat is essential for crispy rice edges. Yum Yum sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week. Reheat leftovers on a skillet or griddle to maintain crispiness.
