Notes

I used Fresh Cooked Instant Pot jasmine rice in this recipe, the texture of this rice is absolutely amazing! You can use  also cold, leftover cooked rice, but the recipe will have some adjustments.Cook the shrimp and  egg and transfer them to the plate, then cook frozen veggies and cooked rice until well reheated. Return shrimp back to the skillet.
If your local shrimp tend to become watery, I recommend to coat them in a cornstarch before frying.
