Cajun Seafood Golden Rice

This dish was created as I wanted to make a signature fried rice dish that is different from the usual ones we eat outside. It was an instant hit with my family (including my young daughter), even though it is a little spicy. Everyone who tasted it wanted my recipe, so here it is. Have fun!

(serves 4)
Ingredients:
2 cups rice (to be cooked with 2 teaspoons salt & kept warm until ready to fry)
1 stick celery (sliced into small slices)
1 large onion (cut into chunks)
1 small/ medium bell pepper (chopped into medium size cubes)
300g prawns (shelled)
1 large squid (cleaned & cut into 1cm rings)
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cajun mix
1 tablespoon butter/ margarine
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs (lightly beaten)

Method:
1. Mix spices into the cooked rice and stir until even.
2. Heat wok and empty oil and butter.
3. Add in onions to wok once butter has melted and fry until fragrant.
4. Add seafood and fry until almost cooked.
5. Add in salt, bell peppers and celery and fry for a minute.
6. Add in rice and fry until ingredients are even.
7. Pour in the beaten eggs and toss until eggs are cooked. (About 1 minute if wok is hot)
8. Turn off heat and cover until ready to serve.

Tips:
1. You may add in some garlic for a more aromatic taste. I did not add it into the ingredients list as some people prefer not to have a garlic smell.
2. Experiment with different coloured bell peppers for different presentations.
