Make Shrimp Fried Rice without “frying” a single thing! We’ve got a healthier (and easier to make and track!) twist on this traditional Asian dish that’s bursting with flavor. This Shrimp Air-Fried Rice recipe calls for an air-fryer instead of the traditional pan-frying method, making it lighter without sacrificing taste. (No air-fryer? No worries! We’ve got a pan-fry option, too!) You’ll get the ultimate combination of succulent shrimp, crisp vegetables, and fluffy rice, all cooked perfectly in an air fryer. Restaurant fried rice is undoubtedly delicious, but it also often comes with high amounts of oil, butter, and sodium. This DIY version skips out on the excess ingredients so you can stay on track while still enjoying every bite. Packed with a balance of lean protein, veggies, and balanced carbohydrates, this dish will become a go-to favorite for both weeknight dinners and entertaining guests.
