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.
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.
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.
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.
Step 5
Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to combine. Cook for another minute until everything is heated through.
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.
