  • Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Break up any clumps of rice.
  • Pour the soy sauce mixture over the rice and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving.
