Chopped Shrimp Fried Rice

Extra Fluffy White Rice Recipe

This method creates exceptionally fluffy, flavorful rice that works perfectly for fried rice.

1. Bring 1 cup water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salted butter and ½ tablespoon chicken-flavored Better Than Bouillon. Stir well until fully dissolved.
2. Add ¾ cup white rice directly from the package (do not rinse).
3. Stir once, cover, and lower heat to low. Let steam for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, place a clean paper towel over the pot, then replace the lid. Let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Remove lid and paper towel, fluff gently with a fork, and season to taste.

This rice stays light, fluffy, and full of flavor—perfect for soaking up sauces without turning mushy. When paired with chopped shrimp and quick stir-frying, it delivers next-level fried rice every single time.
