- When selecting your jumbo shrimp, make sure they are fresh and not previously frozen.
- For the best flavor, use a high-quality vegetable broth or chicken broth.
- Substitute the shrimp with tofu: Tofu is a great vegetarian alternative to shrimp. It is also a good source of protein, making it a healthy and nutritious choice. It also has a subtle flavor, allowing it to take on the flavors of the other ingredients in the dish.
- Substitute the vegetable broth with coconut milk: Coconut milk adds a delicious creamy flavor to the dish, while still providing a healthy alternative to the vegetable broth. It also adds a hint of sweetness, which pairs nicely with the shrimp and other flavors in the dish.
Vegan Fried Rice Substitute the shrimp with tofu and the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Use a vegan-friendly soy sauce or tamari.
