- Cook the shrimp: Add shrimp to the pan and cook until they turn pink and opaque.
- Add rice: Add day-old rice to the pan. Stir-fry to combine and heat through, ensuring the rice absorbs the flavors without becoming soggy.
- Add chili crisp and sauce: Add chili crisp to the pan and let it cook briefly to develop some burnt chili crisp flavor.
