   Temperature: 400°F

   Time: PT4M

3. Prepare Fried Rice

   Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, then stir‑fry the onion‑green onion‑carrot mix until fragrant (≈2 min). Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the cooled rice, break up clumps, then stir in butter until fully melted and coating the rice.

   Time: PT6M

4. Season the Fried Rice

   Season the rice with salt, pepper, and drizzle soy sauce just enough to give a light color. Toss quickly, then fold in the sliced egg strips. Keep the rice moving to avoid burning.

5. Grill Chicken and Shrimp

   Place chicken pieces and shrimp on the hot grill in a single layer. Let them sear on one side without moving for about 2‑3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side. Maintain grill temperature around 400‑425°F.

   Temperature: 400°F

7. Add Garlic‑Butter Sauce
