Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 16 oz Ribeye steak, cubed
- 12 Colossal shrimp, thawed
- 4 large eggs
Vegetables
- 1 bag frozen peas and carrots
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Rice & Seasonings
- 4 cups day old cooked rice
- 1 tbsp cajun seasoning (for shrimp)
- 2 tbsp SPG blend (salt, pepper, garlic) for steak seasoning
- 1/4 cup Bachan’s Original seasoning (for steak)
- 4 tbsp butter
Yum Yum Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp ketchup (corrected from 1 tbsp as per original directions)
- 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 steak into bite-sized pieces. Season thoroughly with Bachan’s Original seasoning and SPG blend to add robust flavor.
- Season the Shrimp: Thaw the colossal shrimp if frozen and season them evenly with Cajun seasoning to give a spicy, smoky kick.
- 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 until smooth. Set aside to chill.
- Cook the Steak: Heat the LoCo griddle to 450°F and cook the cubed steak for about 5 minutes until nicely seared and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: On the same griddle, cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and frozen peas and carrots to the griddle. Cook for 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender.
- Add Rice and Butter: Stir in 4 cups of day-old cooked rice and 4 tablespoons of butter into the vegetables. Mix thoroughly to combine and heat the rice through.
- Scramble Eggs: Push the rice mixture to the side and scramble 4 eggs on the griddle. Once cooked, mix the scrambled eggs into the rice evenly and cook until fully blended.
- Combine and Serve: Top the fried rice with the cooked steak and shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve alongside the homemade yum yum sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Using day-old rice is crucial to prevent sogginess and to achieve the best texture.
- If you do not have a LoCo griddle, a large cast-iron skillet or wok can be used on the stovetop at medium-high heat.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning and SPG amounts to your taste preference for spice and saltiness.
- The yum yum sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Ensure steak is cooked to desired doneness; cooking times may vary depending on steak thickness.
