In a large, deep pan (or wok) add the cooking oil and heat over medium-high until hot. Add onions and garlic, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Once vegetables are softened, add shrimp and stir until no longer opaque, about 1 minute (don’t overcook the shrimp.)

Add cooked cold rice, breaking up clumps if needed, and stirring to incorporate. Add your Sauce Mixture and stir to combine well. Use spatula to push fried rice to the edges of pan, making a well in the center of pan. Crack eggs into the well and scramble them, trying not to disturb the fried rice. Once eggs are cooked, stir it into the fried rice. Add Thai basil and scallions, stirring just to incorporate don’t fully cook the herbs. Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
