Thai Seafood Fried Rice

I could hardly get a good picture of this dish because both me and Mr. Yum were very eager to pounce on it. This thai seafood fried rice is one of my best recipes for fried rice with day old Jasmine rice… Everyone would think you slaved for this one, but it is so so easy to prepare. This is the perfect “impress your guest” dish. Share and Enjoy!!!

Sometimes, my local Asian store has really fresh seafood, and this was one of those days so I had to make this dish with the fresh seafood I had bought.

Notes

Best to use day old rice for this recipe.
Also, some people add sugar to their fried rice, but I omit the sugar because I find the onions add enough sweetness to the dish. Feel free to add sugar if you please
