Easy Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

Ordering takeout can get expensive when you’re feeding a large family. The times we head out for takeout may not be as often as it use to be but it’s so worth it and it’s actually given us back some great family time at home. Fortunately for me, all of my kids enjoy cooking and don’t hesitate when I ask for a helping hand in making this easy shrimp fried rice recipe using Uncle Bens Ready Rice Whole Grain Brown.

This is exactly what I love about having a large family, there’s never a dull moment and because we have kids of all ages there’s always something we can all cook together and help out in one way or another. In this case, it’s this easy shrimp fried rice recipe! One of the easiest (and tastiest) recipes that we all love to make on Friday nights where we all are winding down from work and school.

We LOVE adding rice to just about all of our recipes but Uncle Bens Ready Rice is a favorite because it cuts down cooking time during busy school days and gives us a little more time for laughs.

This easy shrimp fried recipe takes less than 20 minutes to make and can also be made with chicken or even beef (another family favorite).
