1. Step 1

   To create a delicious shrimp fried rice, start by warming 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced carrot and bell pepper.

3. Step 3

   Sauté these vibrant veggies for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their sweet aroma.

4. Step 4

   Next, add the shrimp, onion, corn, and minced garlic to the skillet.

5. Step 5

   Cook this colorful mixture until the shrimp turn a lovely pink and lose their translucent appearance, which should take around 5 more minutes.

6. Step 6

   If you notice any excess liquid, simply drain it off, then lower the heat and let everything simmer gently.

7. Step 7

   While that’s cooking, grab a separate skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

8. Step 8

   Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until they’re firm and no longer runny, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

   Once done, gently fold the scrambled eggs into the shrimp and vegetable medley, allowing the flavors to mingle beautifully.

    The aroma will be irresistible! For the finishing touch, heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.

13. Step 13

    Crack a whole egg into the skillet, cover it, and let it cook until the bottom is slightly browned, the yolk remains runny, and the egg white is just set, which should take about 3 minutes.
