👩🍳 How to Make Crockpot Shrimp Fried Rice
1. Prepare the Crockpot
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. This helps prevent the rice from sticking.
2. Add the Rice and Seasonings
Add the rinsed rice, chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, black pepper, and frozen vegetables to the crockpot.
Stir everything together until well combined.
3. Cook the Rice
Cover and cook on LOW for about 2–3 hours, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Keep an eye on the rice toward the end because slow cookers can vary in temperature.
4. Add the Shrimp
Add the peeled shrimp during the final 15–20 minutes of cooking. Stir gently and cover again.
Cook until the shrimp turns pink, opaque, and is fully cooked. Avoid overcooking because shrimp can become rubbery.
5. Add the Eggs
Push the rice mixture toward the sides of the crockpot to create a small space in the center. Pour in the beaten eggs.
Cover and cook for several minutes until the eggs are set, then gently stir them into the rice.
6. Finish and Serve
Add the sliced green onions and gently fluff everything together.
Taste and adjust the soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed.
For extra flavor, add a drizzle of sesame oil or a little Sriracha before serving.
🍤 Tips for the Best Crockpot Shrimp Fried Rice
Use rinsed rice: Rinsing removes excess starch and helps prevent the finished rice from becoming overly sticky.
Don’t overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly. Adding it near the end keeps it juicy and tender.
Frozen vegetables are perfect: There’s no need to thaw them first. Peas, carrots, corn, and green beans all work beautifully.
Want more protein? Add diced cooked chicken, ham, or extra eggs.
Make it spicy: Add Sriracha, chili flakes, or a drizzle of chili oil before serving.
