I'm hungry Chef can you make me this awesome Thai dish?

Question

Serves 1 as main dish.

Ingredients:

8-10 large shrimp.
1 cup of cooked rice (spread out on a plate and let stand in the refrigerator at least 4 hours before using).
1/4 cup of grated carrot.
1 thin slice of a large Spanish or yellow onion, coarsely chopped.
1 large clove of garlic, crushed and minced.
1 Tbsp of soy sauce.
1/2 tsp of fish sauce.
sugar.
salt and pepper.
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Preparation:

Place shrimp in a bowl, along with 2 tsp of vegetable oil, minced garlic. Salt and pepper the shrimp, and mix well. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate at least 1/2 hour before using.

Mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, and the sugar in a small bowl. This is the dressing for the fried rice, and should be on the sweet side.

Take the rice out of the refrigerator and separate the grains (your hand work best). Add the grated carrot and mix into the rice.

Heat a large frying pan on medium (5, on my stove). Pour the shrimp, oil and garlic into the pan. Add the onions to the pan. Saute shrimp till they're pink, and the meat is white and opaque.

When cooked through, remove the shrimp from the pan, leaving the garlic and onions in the pan. Salt and pepper the onion garlic mixture. Saute till the onions are translucent. Constantly stir to keep the mixture from burning.

Add the rice to the pan and mix the onions and garlic into the rice. Press down into the pan and let it saute for 30 seconds or so. Stir and press down again.

Add the soy sauce dressing along the sides of the pan and stir the rice to evenly mix it into the rice. Add the shrimp back to the rice and mix into the rice.

Serve the fried rice. Sprinkle with chopped green onion, extra soy sauce, wedge of lime.

Note Bene:

1. I like to use raw, frozen, easy peel shrimp, and cook them with the shell on. The shrimp, IMO, have a better flavour when cooked with the shell on. You can remove the shell before adding the shrimp back to the rice.

2. If you've never used fish sauce before you may want to use ony 1/4 of a teaspoon. For me, fish sauce is kinda burpy, so expect to enjoy it again and again ;-)

Also, fish sauce will be stinky when you add it to the pan. That smell is normal.

3. If you add the crushed red pepper flakes while sauteing the onion mixture. Watch your eyes. The vapours from the sauting pepper is nature's version of mace!
