1 pound frozen peeled and deveined large shrimp
Kosher salt and pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
4 cups frozen or day-old cooked rice
1/2 cup frozen peas

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the peas and chorizo, if using, and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Make a space in the center of the rice and pour in the eggs, sesame oil, soy sauce, and scallions. Scramble the eggs until set, then stir them into the rice.
