Ingredients
Seafood: 3/4 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Produce: 1/2 cup Carrots, finely diced; 2 tsp Garlic, minced; 1/4 cup Green onions, chopped; 1/2 cup Onion, chopped; 1/2 cup Peas, frozen

Condiments: 3 tbsp Soy sauce

Baking & Spices: Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Heat 2 tsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs, mixing them with the vegetables once cooked.
Add the cooked rice, peas, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, add the sesame oil, and mix well. Cook for an additional minute.
Garnish with green onions before serving.
