Fried Rice with Shrimp

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of cooked rice (preferably cooled)
• 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Spring onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Cook the rice ahead of time and let it cool. You can use leftover rice from the previous day, as it tends to fry better.
   • Peel and devein the shrimp. If they are large, you can cut them into smaller pieces.
   • Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
   • Mince the garlic, finely chop the onion, and prepare the mixed vegetables.
2. Stir-Fry the Shrimp:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
   • Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Eggs:
   • In the same skillet, pour the beaten eggs. Let them cook without stirring for a minute or until they start to set.
   • Using a spatula, scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still moist. Remove them from the skillet and set aside with the shrimp.
4. Stir-Fry the Rice:
   • Add a little more oil to the skillet if needed. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
   • Stir-fry the rice for 3-4 minutes until it starts to turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
5. Combine Everything:
   • Return the cooked shrimp and eggs to the skillet with the rice.
   • Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. Season the Fried Rice:
   • Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce over the rice mixture.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
7. Serve:
   • Transfer the fried rice with shrimp to serving plates or bowls.
   • Garnish with chopped spring onions for extra flavor and freshness.
   • Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the rice.
