# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat lamb chops thoroughly and marinate for at least 30 minutes or longer if time allows.
02 -
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked to desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Toss peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Using the same pan, cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly charred. Remove from heat and keep warm.
04 -
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add mixed vegetables and cook until warmed through. Move vegetables to the side of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs, scrambling gently until just set. Add cold rice, breaking apart any clumps, and stir to combine all ingredients. Drizzle in soy sauce, oyster sauce if using, and sesame oil. Stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes until the rice is hot and evenly coated.
05 -
Plate a generous mound of fried rice. Arrange cooked lamb chops around the rice and place shrimp on top. Garnish with chopped scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and lime wedges or a drizzle of spicy sauce as desired.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Day-old rice yields the best texture for stir-frying, preventing clumping and excess moisture.
