It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is SHRIMP & EGG FRIED RICE!

I love oriental foods because they’re usually easy to make, while being savory and filling for the family. This dish takes just minutes to cook. Prep is a bit longer but, after a day at work, the family will be impressed by the quality meal that tastes like you’ve been cooking all day.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Karen

[Serves 4-6] 

1 slice bacon
2 scallions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 oz. Shrimp, cut small
2 cups cold, cooked rice
1 egg beaten with salt & pepper
1-2 T. soy sauce 

Fry bacon in wok until crisp; remove and set aside. Add scallions and garlic to wok and stir fry in bacon fat 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and stir fry until pink (if frozen or canned shrimp are used, add while stir frying rice). Add rice and stir fry 4-5 minutes, until rice is golden. Pour beaten egg into a well in the rice. Stir and heat until egg is coagulated. Crumble bacon and add to rice with the soy sauce. Combine well.
