5. Add Vegetables: If using, add your choice of vegetables into the skillet and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Season: Drizzle with sesame oil if desired, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Spoon the shrimp mixture over the cooked rice.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
