Hibachi at Home (Glam-I-Hana Surf n Turf)

I ordered take out from a popular Japanese Steakhouse last week and I always order the same thing. A large side of chicken fried rice and their appetizer hibachi shrimp. Well for about 2 cups of rice and 8 shrimp I paid $20, and as much I like the food there it hit me that I can make a lot more of that at home for around the same price. And that is how this recipe idea was born. Why spend $80 for surf and turf for 2 at a Japanese Steakhouse when you can make it at home for half the price? Enjoy the recipe as always, let me know how you like it.
