Reheat skillet; add sesame oil. Cook Spanish onions on medium heat until slightly transparent, about 3 mins. Add shrimp, cook until they turn plump and pink, about 3 mins. Then add ginger, sherry, bean sprouts and omelet pieces. Cook on low heat and stir frequently so that sprouts are thoroughly covered with the wine and ginger.

Add soy sauce and continue to toss mixture so that the soy sauce coats all the rice. Add green onions and continue to mix thoroughly.
