Garlicky Shrimp Fried Rice

Dinner in 15 minutes sounds like a dream, but this shrimp fried rice flavored with loads of garlic powder turns that into a reality. To help keep this recipe within that time frame, grate the ginger, chop the spring onions or scallions, and juice the lemons while your skillet heats up and the shrimp are cooking. Day-old rice is always best for fried rice, so this is a great way to use up any leftover grains from a previous meal.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound small or medium (41/60-count) shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed

1 tablespoon garlic powder, divided

Fine salt

8 spring onions or scallions, chopped

1 cup frozen peas

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

2 lemons, juiced, divided

4 cups cooked white rice, preferably day-old

2 teaspoons sriracha
