Shrimp Fried Rice with Peppers Recipe

This dinner is a delicious twist on shrimp fried rice. Use up the vegetables you have on hand and cook up some rice. It’s versatile and acts as a main OR side dish! Dinner is done in under 30 minutes!

This week is proof that despite all attempts at mapping out time, plans can become unhinged in the blink of an eye. I had grand plans to catch up on work, laundry, cleaning and so much more. But two sick boys (at separate 48-hour intervals) threw a wrench into my neatly organized week. As always, we readjusted and made things work. Things are never dull around here! I think I secretly prefer it that way.

Here’s to a great weekend and a healthy week ahead for all! Enjoy this delicious recipe. My stepmom and I prepared this while we were in North Carolina last month. She, my dad and I basically just inhaled it in one sitting. It was so yummy when I drizzled a bit of soy sauce over the top. Yum!

Start with two hues of bell peppers and some green onions. Add shishito or poblano peppers, eggs, rice and shrimp…that’s it!

Done in under 30 minutes! Have a great weekend, friends!
