Shrimp Fried Rice
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
This delectable shrimp fried rice is filled with color and taste that makes it vanish fast. Our family of four can't get enough of it. Bacon adds crispness and a hint of heartiness. Consider it when you need a different main dish or brunch item. —Sandra Thompson, White Hall, Arkansas
