Garlicky Shrimp Brochettes & Potato Salad In Dijon Mayonnaise

.
.
Early  evening dinner before going to sleep and back to another happy work week.  (Do I have to mention I was NOT  the lucky winner of the $ 6oo.000.000 ?)
I wonder, if I would have won, would I go to work tomorrow…………
Anyway, back to reality and a great meal. I used a shameful amount of roasted garlic puree to season the shrimps and I hope nobody wants a kiss before tomorrow :-)

Imperial Fried Rice

>
Time to get excited about  fried rice :-)
No, not the cabbage and soy sauce laden one you get for two bucks at your corner chinese restaurant. No, I am talking about  my treasure chest of a fried rice which has a whole bunch of goodies in it. Each one (shrimp,chicken, lap cheong, ham, eggs, vegetables), fried on it’s own with rice would make a good fried rice, but here the combination of all of this stuff together makes it a truly memorable dish.
