Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter , divided
2 cloves garlic , minced
30 medium shrimp thawed, peeled, and deveined
1½ cups frozen peas and carrots
5 cups cooked white rice , well chilled
¼ cup soy sauce
1½ tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the eggs to the hot skillet and cook 3 minutes, or until soft set. Remove the eggs from the heat and set aside.
Melt the remaining butter to the hot skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shrimp and cook for 6 minutes, or until the shrimp is no longer opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Turn the heat up on high and add the rice to the same skillet the shrimp was cooked in. Pour the soy sauce and rice vinegar over the top. Toss to evenly coat the rice with the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is heated through.
Add the peas and carrots, scrambled eggs, and shrimp mixture. Toss together gently and cook for 3 minutes. Serve as desired.
