Seafood Fried Rice

I love cooking fried rice. To me fried rice is one of the most practical and frugal dish ever invented. Why? Imagine you get to re-use most of the left over rice and other meat to end up in a family dining table as another dish. You can also be as creative as you can by adding all your favorite ingredients to make it delicious. Well, not all. I mean I wouldn’t add marshmallow in it unless you are cooking fried- Rice Krispies® treats. Hey, why not? Okay, never mind.

This seafood fried rice was a lot easier to make than I thought. Just prep the shrimp, mussels, and then marinate. That’s it! Now to complete the seafood atmosphere, I used shrimp oil to stir fry everything. The rest is just child’s play. Since I really love making this fried rice, maybe I should call it “Little Filipino-Asian-Guy Paella!” What do you guys think? Yes, no? Cricket, cricket. Oookay, maybe not! :=p

    I don’t know, I thought the paella name was rather amusing. ;-) Anyway, this is a really nice recipe. I love seafood and I love fried rice, so of course I like anything that combines them. Good recipe, great picture. Thanks for this.

    I think “Little Filipino-Asian-Guy Paella” is the perfect name for this dish! Seafood, rice and veggies – sounds right to me! What a simple and tasty marinade for the seafood! Love the look and “smell” of this dish. Yes – as always, one can smell a dish through your pictures! A few weeks ago I had a mussel dish and it was excellent causing me to rethink my dislike of mussels. I’ve decided to find some and give a mussel dish a try, starting really simple, like your mussel ginger soup. Thanks for the video on how to clean them! That helps a lot!

    The closest thing I’ve made with seafood and rice is Paella. I’ve never tried making fried rice with all kinds of seafood. Only shrimp, yes. Your photos are always like magazine pages, make me hungry and crave for this dish. Hope you have a fantastic long weekend and eat something delicious! :-)

    No Ray, I’d never add marshmallow into my fried rice. Ha! You are always full of humor. I’ve been making fried rice since we bought a trustable rice cooker, but not with those fresh seafoods which I miss most. Oh man, I really miss cooking with fresh seafood. Until we move closer to the city, I can only stare at your seafood fried rice and wish you can send some to me.

    Hi Ray!

    I agree with you, its a great way to reuse the left over rice. There is nearly everyday left over rice, in my house at least. I am always interested to learn a new fried rice recipe. Actually I got introduced to this dish in India only, so I am convinced the east asian version tastes for sure differently. They sometimes add indian influenced masala mixes here to the fried rice. thanks for the marination recipe idea with sherry, never tried but surely will now!

    What a pleasure to see fried rice on your blog! I am always thrilled to discover other blogger’s fried rice recipes because not only each cook fries rice in a different way, but also every fried rice bowl is different (at least in my kitchen!). Your seafood rice looks fabulous and you are right, it makes one think of paella too!
