Hawaiian Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice

Step 1

To a large non-stick skillet or wok, add the oils, shrimp, and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking time will vary based on size of shrimp; don’t overcook.

Step 2

Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon (allow oils and cooking juices to remain in skillet) and place shrimp on a plate; set aside.

Step 3

Add the red bell pepper, peas, carrots, corn, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften, stir intermittently.

Step 4

Add the garlic, ginger, and cook for 1 minute, stir intermittently.

Step 5

Push vegetables to one side of the skillet, add the eggs to the other side, and cook to scramble, stirring as necessary.

Step 6

Turn the heat to low, add the cooked rice, stir to combine, and allow it to warm through for a minute or two. Tip - If mixture seems at all dry, add additional oil to taste.

Step 7

Add the shrimp back in, the pineapple, green onions, evenly drizzle with soy sauce (use less at first if you're very sensitive to salt or soy sauce), evenly season with pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, and stir to combine.

Step 8

Taste and check for seasoning balance. If desired, add additional soy sauce to taste (I find it necessary to use about 1/3 cup in total for this recipe).
