Shrimp Fried rice


I've made shrimp fried rice (my version) countless times and never once thought to blog the process. Mostly because I usually make it in a whim with what ever I have in my fridge, just free styling .  But I've been asked to share my receipe so I'm going to attempt to do so. I say attempt because although its the easiest thing to make, there's too many ways I've made it.  So I'm going to use a combination of pictures I have of the process. So here we go.

Ingredients: 

1. Cold cooked Jasmine rice
2. Shrimp 
3. Peas and carrot 
4. Oil
5. Soy sauce
6. Eggs
7. Onions
8. Shrimp seasoning
9. Peppers(optional)

PREP:
 Veggies- thaw the frozen peas and carrots in water. Then drain and set aside.  
Shrimp- steam or fry lightly seasoned shrimp and set aside. 
Egg- fry eggs until almost done but still a a little runny in the middle (do not flip the egg).  Chop up the fried eggs and set aside
To make the rice spicy- I blend a little bit of onions a 3 hot peppers with oil together.

METHOD:
(You can make fried rice in a any pan but it's best to use a wok pan)
-In a wide heated pan, add a little bit of oil then some chopped onions. 
-Sauté onions until fragrant.
-Then add rice and stir to break apart and warm up a little.
-Add some soy sauce and stir some more.
-Then add more onions, peas, carrots and shrimp. Mix well together
-Mix in pepper blend and shrimp seasoning.
-Taste, then add more soy sauce if needed (your rice should no longer be white)
- Add chopped eggs. Stir altogether. 
- Spread rice evenly in pan and let cook for 2 minutes and your done.  
 
Plate your fried rice and enjoy.
