Shrimp Fried Rice



I was in the mood for some asian food and while looking through the cabinets I found everything I needed for this dish. I love how quick cooking this dish is!

Ingredients:
1 - 2 green onions, if you have them
1 large eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, or as needed
2 cups cold cooked rice
1 - 2 tablespoons light soy sauce or oyster sauce
1 cooked chicken piece like thigh or breast cut into bite size pieces

Directions:

1. Wash and finely chop the green onion. Lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper. Clean and peel shrimp.

2. Heat a wok or frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp. Cook on each side for about 2 minutes. Set aside. Clean out pan.

3. Reheat pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs. Cook, stirring, until they are lightly scrambled but not too dry. Remove the eggs and clean out the pan.

4. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the rice. Stir-fry for a minute, using chopsticks or a wooden spoon to break it apart. Add in the soy sauce or oyster sauce as desired.

4. When the rice is heated through, add the scrambled egg and shrimp back into the pan. Mix thoroughly. Stir in the green onion. Serve hot.
