Fried rice that packs spice, not salt

I was raised on shrimp fried rice. The dish was my go-to all through grade school and I can't remember not ordering extra shrimp, extra duck sauce and extra hot mustard from carryout. My current refrigerator is still a graveyard of soy sauce and hot mustard packets. So of course, you can imagine how long my face was when my physician said, "Watkins, you have to cut down on the salt."

Shrimp fried rice and salt go together like soap and bubbles, kind of inseparable.
