2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old for better texture)
200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell pepper), diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp soy sauce, dark
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp vegetable oil
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Juice of 1 lime

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
Add the shrimp and stir until they begin to turn pink. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour the remaining oil and toss the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry until they retain their vibrant color yet are tender.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble until just set, then mix with the vegetables.
Add the rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry, allowing the rice to toast lightly, imparting a smoky crust.
Introduce the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring an even coating.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix thoroughly. Drizzle lime juice over the rice, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Finish by sprinkling chopped cilantro on top, and serve immediately while the dish remains warm and aromatic.
