Shrimp Fried Rice recipe

We are now settling in nicely in our new home. Actually, because I'm a neat freak and a perfectionist (and maybe borderline OCD), it took only a day and a half to unpack, sort, and get things in order -- and that includes cleaning the brand new home. Yes, cleaning a brand new home. That means sanitizing, wiping down, dusting, sweeping, swiffer mopping, and vacuuming a newly built home. I just can't be at peace if I don't clean. It's almost a curse.

I made Garlic Fried Rice before, which is more toasty than this one, but I can't find that scribbled recipe in my notes at the moment. You guys don't mind if I share a different one today, right? This one's more meaty!
