Shrimp Fried Rice

last nights dinner definitely had a few more steps involved than normal but it was totally worth it.

you will need:

brown jasmine rice
pam cooking spray
veggies - i used 2 different bags of frozen veggies. one w carrots, beans,corn and peas and the other was a lima bean corn combo.
8 shrimp - i had the frozen bag on hand.
egg whites
3 garlic cloves
butter
soy sauce

i began by steaming the rice in our rice steamer. i wanted to make enough so i would have enough leftover for lunch today. i used 1 cup of brown jasmine rice and 2 cups of water. it takes about 15 minutes.

while that is going, i took out a large frying pan, spayed it w pam and added the frozen veggies to a medium heat. i let those warm up and then i added the egg whites, about 1/3 of a cup is equal to 2 eggs. i mixed them with the veggies and let those warm. i then added the mined garlic and shrimp and soy sauce. the shrimp are already cooked so i just need to warm them up. by then the rice is done and i added the steamed rice and a tab of butter to the pan. i mixed all of that and added a bit more soy sauce. it was pretty incredible i must say. very fresh, very healthy, very tasty.

while we were in thailand on our honeymoon, one of the places we visited was Ko Racha (see pic below) the resort offered a breakfast buffet that included fried rice. i had some every morning and while mine is no where nearly as good as theirs, i suppose this could also be eaten for breaky :)
