Shrimp Fried Rice

I recycled some leftover rice  and make it into something special, since there are some shrimps in the refrigerator  I decided to make shrimp fried rice. I chilled the leftover rice so that it will be easy to separate.

I sauted 3 cloves of garlic then added 1 cup of shelled shrimps then sauted it for a minute before I added 2 beaten eggs stirring well to make it scrambled then I put the rice and mix well. Stirring occasionally until done then I put some minced bell pepper, salt and pepper to taste then stir a few minutes and that's it!
 Don't waste food!! It's part of God's blessings. Learn to recycle the leftovers.
