Prepare the Shrimp: Begin by washing and rinsing the shrimp. Set them aside for later use.
Rice Prep: If you don’t already have leftover rice, cook your white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set it aside.
Cooking the Base: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add Veggies and Shrimp: Introduce the peas and carrots mixture to the skillet, followed by the shrimp. Toss everything together, ensuring the shrimp is well-distributed. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and is fully cooked.
Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the sesame oil and soy sauce together. This will be added to the rice for extra flavor.
Combine Rice and Sauce: Stir in the cooked white rice and the soy sauce-sesame oil mixture to the skillet. Sauté everything together for another 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
