  • Season the shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Add sausage and shrimp to the bacon drippings. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add veggies and cook 3 minutes, shrimp should be pink and cooked through. Transfer veggies, sausage and shrimp to a plate. Set aside.

Notes

For the best results, is essential to use cold rice. If you use hot rice, it will result in a mushy final product. 
Please be sure to taste the fried rice before adding any additional salt because the sausage, bacon and soy sauce all add salt as well.
