Shrimp Fried Rice

Hey all! I made this quick and easy side dish for a Christmas party (serving 10ish people)... best part- it was quick and easy and not very costly!

You will need:
-2 1/2 cups instant white rice
-1 package steam fresh mixed veggies
-1 to 3 packages frozen salad shrimp (depending how much you like, and they are much cheaper than the big shrimps)
-1 bottle Kikoman low sodium stir fry sauce
-3 to 4 table spoons canola or vegetable oil (for frying)

To Make:
1) Cook instant rice according to packaging and let cool (otherwise it will be to wet and sticky, but resembles same taste if in a time crunch)
2) Microwave frozen vegetables for 2 minutes
3) Heat oil in large nonstick skillet and add rice, veggies and shrimp, cook until fully heated, stirring frequently
4) Add entire bottle of stir fry sauce, it gives color and adds a better flavor then just soy sauce, cook for another 5 or so minutes

This is the simple thrown together version, you can always add an egg or two if you like that in your fried rice, you can also sub chicken or more veggies for the shrimp. My kids love this simple recipe and we make it frequently! All together costing about $10, very budget friendly!
