For best results, use day-old cooked rice, as it tends to be drier and less sticky. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Broccoli florets, mushrooms, or water chestnuts would also be delicious additions. If you don't have snow peas, you can substitute with sugar snap peas or green beans. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. Consider adding a protein boost with diced chicken or pork in addition to the shrimp.
