Shrimp, Egg and Pea fried rice

The pepper is a real flavor additive in this dish, but you could sub carrots or other veggies if you are not a pepper fan. This is a very mild dish, and the shrimp do have a nice flavor done this way. This can be under salted, so taste and adjust to your liking. My measurements are just reference points for salt. You can actually make this dish without rice, and use it as part of a meal with other sides.

Steps
- 1
Get your rice going if making fresh. If using left over, leave it in the refrigerator, cold rice breaks up easier.
- 2
Frozen or fresh shrimp can be used. If frozen, thaw per package directions. If fresh, peel and devein the shrimp. I used frozen, peeled and cooked here. I hate cleaning shrimp!
- 3
Mix your shrimps ingredients in a bowl.
- 4
Mix well, cover, let sit out for 10 minutes.
- 5
Slice pepper into strips and mince your garlic
- 6
Spray or oil a wok/stir-fry/skillet and set to high heat
- 7
Add your shrimp to hot pan in a single layer. Leave alone for a minute.
- 8
Flip each shrimp over. Leave for another minute, or until cooked through
- 9
Remove to clean plate/bowl for now
- 10
Re-oil pan, add pepper, fry for one minute, add garlic, fry for about 30 seconds, remove to shrimps plate/bowl
- 11
Turn heat down to medium-high. Add eggs, salt and pepper. Keep eggs moving.
- 12
Just before eggs are done, add frozen peas. Keep it all moving.
- 13
At this point a little extra oil, or butter will give it some extra flavor and moisten the rice, if you desire. 1-2 Tbl. is good. Or leave it as is. I left this one as is, but my wife said it needed some butter.
- 14
Add rice (2 cups seems about right)
- 15
Stir until rice is mixed in and heated through. I like to turn the heat down to medium at this point, takes a couple extra minutes, but seems to limit scorching of bits here and there.
- 16
Add your shrimp, pepper and garlic back in
- 17
Stir for about 3 minutes, until it is mixed well, and all is heated through. I also put another grind of black pepper in.
- 18
Serve. You can garnish with chopped green onion, cilantro or parsley (I was out, but like green onions)
