Shrimp with Egg Rice and Lime

Ingredients

• ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 2 large eggs
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Crack the 2 eggs directly into the skillet and scramble until just set, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add the 2 cups cooked rice and 1 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is hot and well coated, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Zest the lime directly over the rice and squeeze in the juice from half the lime. Stir to combine and cook for another minute until everything is heated through.

5. 5

   Serve hot, with extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
