Shrimp Fried Rice
This is hands down the best shrimp fried rice I've ever made. I used mostly butter in this recipe because let's face it butter just tastes so much better than oil. This along with lobster basil fried rice are my absolute favorites. I served this with a fried egg on top and I'm so upset I forgot to poke the yolk on video. I'm really kicking myself about it cause I love to poke yolks. Next time. I also served this with the most amazing fried chicken wings in the world https://www.cookedbyjulie.com/chicken-wings/The secret to good fried rice is cold rice and lots of tossing. Get yourself a wok and have some fun :)
