shrimp fried rice

inspired from
http://www.ricerecipes.net/shrimp-fried-rice.html

Ingredients:
Bag of frozen shrimp (without tails), thawed
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 medium onion, diced
1 bag of peas
4 cups cold cooked rice


1 bunch of green onions, sliced
La Choy crunchy noodles

Marinade:
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoon soy sauce
Directions:
1. Prepare marinade: in a medium bowl, whisk ingredients together until combined. Add shrimp and marinade 15 minutes.

2. Heat oil in a large wok over high heat. When hot, add rice, green onion, and diced onion. Cook until some of the rice is browned. Push rice to the side of the wok, and scramble 2 eggs in it. Combine the egg with the rice.

3. Add the shrimp and peas. Cook until heated.

4. Season with soy sauce and garlic powder.

6. Remove from heat and serve topped with green onions or La Choy crunchy noodles.
Notes: This is great if you have a bunch of leftover veggies sitting around. I sometimes add carrots and celery. (Bulks it up and sneaks in the healthy stuff.) I also do this recipe with chicken breast at least once every two weeks at home. J To make it an even healthier option, this works with brown rice, too. (Fills you up—quick!)
