Chopped Shrimp Fried Rice with Soy & Five Spice

This Chopped Shrimp Fried Rice is a fast, fiery, flavor-loaded take on a classic — made with juicy chopped shrimp, sweet peas, carrots, and bold soy sauce. Everything comes together in one hot skillet or wok in just minutes. A dash of Chinese Five Spice gives it an optional, more traditional edge, while a simple extra-fluffy rice method elevates every bite. It’s takeout-style comfort with an umami punch — ready to devour straight from the pan.
