    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and garlic paste, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place in a bowl to the side.
  2. Add the sesame oil to the skillet and heat. Add in the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add in the rice and fry until the rice starts to crisp up slightly.

Notes

  • You can sub in vegetables of your choice, or use chicken instead of shrimp. Fried rice is a great way to use up leftovers.
