Fried rice exemplifies one of the basic tenets of wok cooking: incredibly high heat cooking food really, really fast. As always, fresh shrimp is best, but frozen will do in a pinch. Sauté your shrimp until they turn pink - that's how you'll know they're done. For traditional Chinese rice, season with salt...for a flavorful update, use soy sauce instead.
