Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil divided
  • 2 eggs scrambled
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined, tails off
  • ¼ cup yellow onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1 cup long grain white rice rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • salt and white pepper to taste
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Instant Pot for 5 minutes on sauté mode high. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and cook the scrambled eggs. Let the eggs set for 30 seconds then stir fry until just set, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and stir fry the onions for 3 minutes. Toss in garlic, peas and carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add in rice, water, soy sauce, fish sauce, Shaoxing wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to pick up the brown bits of flavor.
  • Place the lid on and turn to the sealing position. Pressure cook on high for 6 minutes then natural release for 10 minutes. Turn the knob to the venting position to release the remaining pressure.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork then fold in eggs, vegetables, and shrimp. Season with salt and white pepper to taste and top with scallions.

Notes

  • Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This will rinse off the excess starch so the rice doesn't get too sticky.
  • Use your favorite vegetables. Fried rice is a great clean-out-the-fridge meal. Vegetables like spinach, cabbage, mushrooms, green beans, corn, or broccoli all work!
  • Use leftover cooked rice to make this an even faster dinner!
  • Cooking times will vary if using other types of rice like jasmine rice and brown rice.
  • Total time does not include time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure and release pressure.
