Shrimp Fried Rice

"Pepe" (the king prawn from the muppets) is high in protein and low in fat. Shrimp seems like the perfect food, however, for cholesterol awareness, consume "Jacque" (from Nemo) only in moderation. We like the little scavenging crustaceans broiled, fried, and grilled but today they will be served sautéed with veggies and rice. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-shrimp-healthy
