• Then pour the Chicken/ Beef stock, add water as well, but use more stock, make sure the liquid is enough to cook the Rice till tender. Add two Chicken Cubes and salt to taste. Leave to cook till tender.

 

• Get a deep frying pan, add three tablespoons of Vegetable oil, and crush in one seasoning cube. When the oil becomes hot, add the chopped Onions, sauté for 2 minutes, then add the chopped Garlic.

 

• Now add the raw Shrimps, cook for 3-4 minutes, be careful not to overcook.

 

• When the shrimps are cooked, remove the shrimps and set aside.

 

• Add the carrots, green peas and peppers into the frying pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes,

 

• Add the cooked Shrimps and sauté for 3 minutes.

 

• Now check on the rice, if it’s tender, it shouldn’t be too soft as this will be cooked further. Divide the Rice into two parts.

• Also, divide the cooked veggies into two, add one part of the rice and one part of the Veggies into the frying pan, taste for seasoning, adjust if necessary, and combine.

 

• Decrease the heat to low, add the Green Onions. Fry for a further 3-4 minutes to fully combine. Add the cooked Shrimps back in and combine with the Rice.
