1 stalk celery
130g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1/4 cup chicken gravy
50g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
1 tsp fish sauce
5g
1 tsp brown sugar
3g
2 cups white rice
460g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Make sure all your ingredients are ready to go before you start cooking. Chop the celery, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and beat the eggs.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Shrimps:
- Add the shrimps to the hot oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimps turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimps from the skillet and set them aside.
4. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped celery, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the celery becomes tender and the garlic and ginger are fragrant.
5. Mix in the Sauces:
- Add the chicken gravy, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
6. Add the Rice:
- Add the cooked white rice to the skillet. Stir to coat the rice evenly with the sauce and aromatic mixture. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and absorb the flavors.
7. Incorporate the Eggs:
- Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. Then, mix the scrambled eggs into the rice mixture.
8. Return the Shrimps:
- Add the cooked shrimps back to the skillet. Stir everything together until the shrimps are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
9. Finish and Serve:
- Cook for another 2 minutes to ensure everything is well combined and hot. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Remove from heat and transfer the Shrimp Fried Rice to serving plates or a serving dish.
10. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your delicious homemade Shrimp Fried Rice!

Tips:

- Use day-old rice: Using cold, day-old white rice helps to achieve the best texture and prevents the rice from becoming mushy when stir-frying.

- Prep ingredients beforehand: Having all your ingredients prepped and ready to go will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.

- Cook at high heat: High heat is essential in stir-frying to achieve a good sear on the shrimp and vegetables, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.

- Season the shrimp well: Ensure that the shrimp is well-seasoned before adding it to the rice to enhance the overall taste of the dish.

- Avoid overcooking the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them to maintain their tenderness and juiciness.

Shrimp fried rice is a versatile and satisfying dish that can be tailored to your taste preferences.
