On Bacon Shrimp Fried Rice

Theory

Googling my leftovers, I came across this recipe for bacon shrimp fried rice.

After some pondering, I concluded that I'm uncomfortable with all these ingredients being thrown into the pan together.

I can see the shrimp and bacon together.

I'd be content with a separate complement of steamed broccoli.

The rice, also, could be on its own.

The mushrooms are the unknown. They could go with the shrimp/bacon (probably my preference, although they should be minced, not sliced) or with the rice.

A premise of my critique is that the ingredients should not all be chopped into small pieces. Too much noise and not enough signal.

You can't have too many actors on-stage unless they're organized into clear groupings, patterns and hierarchies (cf. Balanchine). Without, it's just a mob scene.

Praxis

Serve the bacon and shrimp sauté on top of a bed of fried rice (use the mushrooms in the rice after all). Steamed broccoli goes on the side. Be artful, as always.

Bacon and shrimp sauté: bacon, minced onion, shrimp, soy sauce, sherry.

Fried rice: onion, garlic, mushroom, egg, rice, sugar, salt.
