Shrimp Fried Rice

(Papa J.)

Bacon, 3-5 pieces cooked and crumbled (optional)
2 cups cooked rice
1 large onion, chopped
1-2 raw carrots, grated
1-2 cups raw peeled shrimp, chopped
2-3 eggs beaten
soy sauce
salt & pepper


Sauté onion in oil. Grate carrot and cook with onion. If using bacon cook bacon first, remove from pan and place on paper towels to dry. Then add onion and carrot to the bacon grease and saute. Add some oil to the pan if bacon did not produce enough grease. Add chopped shrimp to pan with onion and add some soy sauce. Cover with lid about 3 minutes to cook shrimp. Add eggs and stir until egg is firm and shrimp are pink. Then add rice and more soy sauce, salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon. Stir well and cover. Cook very low, just until warm and add soy sauce to taste about 5 to 10 minutes.
