Instructions
Preparation of Rice
- Take a saucepan and add water and rice to it. Also, add some salt and mix it.
- Put the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat on to a high flame.
- When the rice starts to boil, mix them and then simmer for 20 minutes at low heat with the lid of the saucepan on.
- Keeping the saucepan covered, turn off the stove and let the rice cool down for twenty minutes.
- Then muddle up the rice so that all the rice grains are separated from one another.
- To avoid the final dish being wet and soggy, and to prevent the clumps of rice, place the rice in the refrigerator overnight to remove the extra water.
Preparation of Garlic Butter
- Prepare the garlic butter by mixing butter, lemon, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a good manner.
Preparation of Vegetables and Shrimps
- Now take the onions and carrots and saute them until they turn golden brown.
- In the last two minutes, also add green onion. Do not let it brown so that it maintains its fresh green color.
- In the next step, saute the jumbo shrimp. In the last two minutes, add some garlic butter to enhance flavor. Make sure all the shrimp are fully covered with garlic butter coating.
Preparation of Eggs
- Take the eggs and scramble them.
Assemble!
- Take a large frying pan and pour safflower into it.
- Place the pan on high heat.
- Add the boiled rice to the pan and stir well so that all the rice is coated with oil.
