This flavorful rice dish is typically prepared with eggs/ veggies/ meat and veggies combined but thought to give it an interesting yet safe twist so tried with sea food and I should say it turned wonderful.

So this fried rice is made with typical ingredients like onions, cabbage, eggs , shrimp etc but you can try adding some more veggies like peas and carrot as well to keep it more healthy. You can flavor it with dark soy sauce to flavor and give the dish a nice color, I used only light soy sauce as I had only that with me during this lockdown and prepared with it. You could add little bit vinegar as well to give it restaurant touch. For this shrimp fried rice recipe I used small prawns, but you make it with big ones as well which will taste yum. So let’s get to the making!
