Instructions
Shrimp
- Pat dry and season shrimp with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
- Heat cooking oil on medium high heat, in a large skillet.
- Add shrimp and cook 2-3 min per side, until fully cooked. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Add butter to same pan on medium-high heat, and let melt. Add onion, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes or until soft and translucent.
- Add garlic, stirring frequently, for about 30 seconds-1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add your sake, deglazing the pan and scraping up any brown bits. Add chicken broth and seasonings and let it come to a boil for 30 seconds, then add heavy cream letting boil 30 seconds more, to allow it to thicken a bit.
- Add shrimp back to pan and toss to coat. Keep on the lowest setting on your stove or turn completely off, until ready to put on rice.
Fried Rice
- Add sesame oil to pan on medium high heat, in a wok. Add garlic and stir frequently 30 seconds-1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add your rice and soy sauce and let heat through for a bit, a few minutes.
- Add your mixed veggies stirring occasionally, until cooked and heated through about 4-5 minutes.
- In a seperate frying pan sprayed with cooking oil or butter, on medium high crack egg and add, like you were adding a fried egg. Start scrambling, immediately. You can also do this straight in the wok if you prefer, but I like eggs and giving them undivided attention. Lol jk, it's all out of preference you can do what suits your fancy, this is just how I do it.
- add salt, pepper and seasoning salt to taste, being careful with salt as soy sauce already has good enough amounts of sodium.
- Put in bowl or dish of choice, and put shrimp with all the sauce your heart desires, and enjoyyyy! :-)
