Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and just opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Crack in the 2 eggs and scramble them quickly until just set, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 3 cups cooked rice, 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce, and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together, breaking up clumps, until the rice is hot and evenly coated, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to combine. Cook for another minute until everything is heated through.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the fried rice topped with the 0.25 cup fried shallots. Add extra chili sauce or a squeeze of lime if you like.
