Shrimp Fried Rice -A One Dish Meal

Bergy's Note:

This is a great do ahead dish - get everything ready early in the day, refrigerate until 10 minutes before serving. This may be a meal in one or part of a chinese banquet . It is important to do the onions & garlic as suggested in the recipe steps. If you use large prawns keep them separate and half cook them before adding other ingredients - again - do not over cook the shrimp. Cook this right in front of your guests and serve from the wok. The colors from the ingredients are so attractive

It's very confusing when the ingredients are not in the same order as the recipe - I kept thinking you had left out the rice!
