This is a new series we want to start - Simon’s famous dishes at the Zopilote surf camp. Today we start with shrimp fried rice. A simple meal, according to Simon. To me, it’s delicious. I will ask for another plate…

Shrimp rice is easy to make and doesn’t need any great cooking skills. This recipe is taken from cooks.com, and can be adapted to your taste:

• 1-1/2 cups rice, cooked
• 20-25 small shrimp
• 1 onion
• 1 red pepper
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup peas
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• butter or oil Cook rice as directed, approximately 1-1/2 cups.

In a medium-sized frying pan, sauté 1 small chopped onion, 1 red chopped pepper, and 3/4 cup frozen peas in butter or oil. Set aside.

Next, sauté 20-25 small shrimp with 1 large clove of garlic in butter or oil. When lightly brown, add vegetable mixture.

After just a couple of minutes, add frying pan mixture to rice pot. Quickly scramble 1 egg and add to pot as well. Add 1/4 cup of soy sauce, using judgement and preference, of course.

Stir and simmer for a few minutes.
