      Easier? I had a hard time getting the shrimp cooked right. Maybe I’m just not a cook.

    I don’t like oyster sauce. Can I just leave it out?

      Yeah, you can leave it out! The soy sauce will still give it a nice flavor.

    Shrimp fried rice? I thought it’s just a side dish. Not sure about this.

      Seriously? Fried rice can be a full meal! Plus, shrimp makes it fancy. 😋

      I always thought it was a side too, but this recipe looks really hearty! Might give it a try.

    Too salty for my taste. Maybe lessen the soy sauce next time.

    Seriously? Who puts eggs in fried rice? That’s not how it’s done!

      Awww, I love that! My mom’s shrimp fried rice was the best too! Nothing beats those childhood memories.

      That’s cool and all, but my mom never used oyster sauce. Isn’t that sauce kinda weird?

    I added chicken instead of shrimp and it turned out great!
