Saute for about 3 - 4 minutes or until the carrots and onion are soft. Add minced garlic and ginger and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in the peas and bean sprouts and cook another 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the rice, scallions, chopped shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, eggs, flour, a pinch red pepper flakes and salt.
• Spoon the rice mixture into the wells of the muffin tin, filling to the top and pressing gently with the back of a spoon. Top each with a whole shrimp and sprinkle the shrimp with salt and a pinch red pepper flakes. Bake until sides of the cups are golden and the shrimp is cooked through, 20 to 24 minutes.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a very large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high. Add the olive oil and shrimp, and sprinkle with salt and the garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is no longer translucent and begins to turn golden at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion and mixed vegetables to the shrimpy oil and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the onion loses its raw edge but is still crunchy, and the vegetables are mostly thawed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice and soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until well combined and the rice begins to crisp underneath where it meets the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce as needed.
• Scooch the rice to one side of the pan, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter on the empty side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the melted butter, break the yolks and stir vigorously to scramble the eggs, cooking just until they have set but are still tender, about 1 minute. Stir the soft scrambled eggs into the rice, add the reserved shrimp and any accumulated juices, then remove the pan from the heat.
• Let the fried rice sit for a few minutes so that it can continue to crisp in the pan's residual heat. (If you haven't already made the yum yum sauce, this is the perfect time to do it.)
• Drizzle most of the yum yum sauce over the fried rice in the skillet, leaving some back, if desired, to serve in a small dish on the side for dipping the shrimp.
