Instructions

1. Pound the garlic and Thai chili in a mortar, or chop and smash them with a knife. Slice the shallot and set everything aside.
2. Mix the oyster sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking. Add the butter, garlic, chili, shallot and shrimp. Cook the shrimp 1 minute per side, then push everything to one side of the wok.
4. Crack the eggs into the wok, let them set slightly, then scramble until just cooked but still silky. Toss everything together.
5. Add the cold rice and pour over the sauce. Toss for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice is evenly coated.
6. Add the basil, turn off the heat and keep tossing until the basil is well mixed in.
7. Serve hot.
