Prawns Fried Rice / Shrimp Fried Rice

One day I felt so lazy to cook. I had some prawns in my fridge. I was not in a mood to prepare prawns roast or make some gravy for the regular rice. So thought why not make something different using prawns and kind of a one pot chinese meal. I had few veggies too. So I prepared the prawns fried rice. The flavour of the prawns with the rice is absolutely yummy.
