Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 16oz Ribeye steak
- 12 Colossal shrimp
- 4 large eggs
Vegetables
- 1 bag frozen peas and carrots
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 bunch green onions
Rice
- 4 cups day old cooked rice
- 4 tbsp butter
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp SPG blend (Salt, Pepper, Garlic)
- 1/4 cup Bachan’s Original seasoning
Yum Yum Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cube 1-2 pounds of partially frozen ribeye into bite-size pieces. Season the steak cubes thoroughly with Bachan’s Original seasoning and the SPG blend. This step ensures the steak is flavorful after cooking.
- Season the Shrimp: Thaw the colossal shrimp and season them evenly with Cajun seasoning, adding a spicy, smoky kick to complement the steak.
- Make Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir until smooth and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook the Steak: Heat your LoCo griddle or an equivalent cooking surface to 450°F. Cook the seasoned steak cubes for approximately 5 minutes until they reach your desired doneness, then remove and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: On the same griddle, cook the seasoned shrimp for 2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and the frozen peas and carrots to the griddle. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the vegetables are heated through.
- Add Rice and Butter: Stir in 4 cups of day-old cooked rice along with 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly and allow the butter to melt into the rice.
- Scramble Eggs: Push the rice mixture aside or create a small well in the pan. Crack in the 4 large eggs and scramble them directly on the griddle. Once the eggs are cooked, mix them thoroughly with the rice and vegetable mixture until fully blended.
- Combine and Serve: Top the fried rice and scrambled eggs mixture with the cooked steak and shrimp. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve alongside the homemade yum yum sauce.
Notes
- Using day-old rice prevents sogginess and helps achieve the desired fried rice texture.
- LoCo griddle is ideal for high-temperature cooking; if unavailable, use a large skillet or wok heated to medium-high heat.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning and Bachan’s Original seasoning quantities according to taste preferences and dietary restrictions.
- Yum yum sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For best results, ensure the steak is partially frozen before cubing to facilitate easier cutting.
