Forget the Frozen Pizza, Here's My Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice :)

It's a lazy Saturday morning where everything seems so calm staying at home. Waking up at 11.30 in the morning, then continuing slumber part II in the couch in front of the tv. At this point, even though the stomach starts growling, you just don't feel like dragging your thousand-pound frame across the street to get something to eat. Let's see, we have frozen pizza in the fridge, yikes, some frozen uncooked produce that do not scream lunch at this point. Now you start craving some piping hot food like Harold & Kumar. Yes, hot food is the only thing that will satisfy your weekend lunch craving. I have an idea that will not cost you to get out of your comfort zone and it's so easy to make that I guarantee you to be eating in your couch in before noon. How about some spicy shrimp fried rice with root beer float, the ultimate indulgence in no time.



Ingredients

1 handful of Chinese anchovies
15 raw shrimps, halved
1 sausage, sliced
5 cups of rice, cooked

Seasonings

1 handful of fried onions
2 tbsp of oyster sauce

  • Stir fry onions, then add in shrimps and sausages.
  • Crack two eggs and stir to combine egg yolks with the rest of the ingredient, add some pepper and soy sauce to the eggs to season it.
