When I have leftover rice, and leftover rotisserie chicken, and half a bag of frozen shrimp in the fridge...I can make a quick dinner that is really good, really filling and really quick. The next time you get home at 6pm and you need to put something on the table quickly before the kids die of starvation...try this recipe!Colleen's Fried Rice

Sometimes we have to be creative with what is leftover in the fridge. It seems when I cook extra of something to purposely have leftovers someone eats it all up before I get to it.
