I have been trying to make a light fried rice and have been using Basmati
but having cooked it by boiling i then leave to cool and drain and when
frying with the addition of shrimp, egg etc it tends to turn to mush.
Question is is there a better rice to use. I dont like typical american long
grain as it is too heavy.
Any ideas please.

You're probably over cooking the rice, and rice really needs to be old
rice for fly lice... refrigerated for at least 24 hours. I like to
use orzo, I think it makes a nicer, tastier dish.
