Tips:
- Use day-old brown rice for the best texture; fresh rice can be too moist for stir-frying.
- To save time, you can buy pre-cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp.
- Cut all vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Do not overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and just opaque to maintain their tender texture.
- Customize your bowl by adding other vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or snap peas.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of sesame oil or a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.
