Ingredients:
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer and add it to a medium-sized saucepan with the water and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the shrimp to the same skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred. Add the green onions and stir to combine.
- When the rice is done cooking, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and add it to the skillet with the corn and green onions.
- Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
- Serve the crispy rice with shrimp, bacon, and corn hot, garnished with the crispy bacon.
This dish is perfect for a quick and tasty meal at home. The combination of crispy rice, salty bacon, sweet corn, and juicy shrimp is sure to satisfy your taste buds. If you want to make it even more flavorful, try adding some minced garlic, grated ginger, or chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
