Notes About The Shrimp Fried Rice
- In this Shrimp Fried Rice, I used already cooked rice that was left over in the fridge. See, I am already cheating. That being said, rice cooks quickly and you could still cook it while the veggies are going in another pan. If you are a great multi tasker, can avoid disasters easily, and chop like a seasoned chef, then you just might achieve the time stated.
- This easy Shrimp Fried Rice is very good, doesn’t use too many ingredients and is on the table pretty quick.
