Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cube 1-2 pounds of partially frozen ribeye into bite-size pieces. Season the steak cubes evenly with 1/4 cup Bachan’s Original seasoning and 2 tablespoons of SPG blend to enhance the flavor.
- Season the Shrimp: Thaw 12 colossal shrimp completely and season them generously with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning for a spicy kick.
- Make Yum Yum Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup mayo, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Whisk until smooth and set aside for serving.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a LoCo griddle or large flat skillet to 450°F. Cook the seasoned steak cubes for 5 minutes until nicely seared and cooked to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: On the same griddle or skillet, cook the seasoned shrimp for 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced large yellow onion and frozen peas and carrots to the griddle. Cook over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and vegetables are tender.
- Add Rice and Butter: Stir in 4 cups of cooked day-old rice with 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix well to combine and heat through evenly.
- Scramble Eggs: Push the rice mixture to the side and scramble 4 large eggs directly on the griddle. Once cooked, mix the eggs into the rice thoroughly until blended and heated through.
- Combine Protein and Serve: Top the fried rice mixture with the cooked steak and shrimp pieces. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately alongside the homemade yum yum sauce.
Notes
- Day-old rice works best as it reduces moisture and prevents clumping during frying.
- Use medium-high heat for sautéing vegetables to get a slight caramelization.
- You can substitute the LoCo griddle with a large cast-iron skillet or wok if unavailable.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning and SPG blend quantities to control the spice and salt levels.
- Yum yum sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
