I'll have to find my original recipe for Forge Fried Rice and Shrimp. Key to this is using the portable forge with blower driven charcoal. The aerobatic pilot and airplane builder Steve Wolf was over here for dinner once and watched me cook this, he said it looked like the Mercury 7 capsule re-entry. Key to this dish is the high heat and keeping the cook out of the beer until it's done. I add finely sliced habeneros to the dish for high octane rating, incredible flavor with the shrimp. I remember using fresh ginger and garlic, (must find recipe). Once I was cooking some habeneros and onions for something here while my wife was gone. it was a pretty warm day and I'd had some coolant. I wasn't paying enough attention to the indoor frying pan heat and put the chiles into the oil way too hot. I'd thought maybe fast onset allergies were causing my eyes to water but I hung in and kept cooking. My bad coughing must have been caused by swallowing some beer the wrong way, couldn't be my cooking. So I'm standing there crying and coughing, barely able to breath but having a big time when my wife and kids got home and couldn't even come in the house because I'd pepper fogged the whole place. This is how come I got to learn to cook outside.
