Ingredients

• 3 cups jasmine rice (cooked and cooled)
• 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup pineapple (fresh, diced)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 medium carrot (diced)
• 0.5 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
• 2 stalks green onion (chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup cashews (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the jasmine rice in advance and allow it to cool completely for the best texture in fried rice.

Step 2

Dice the fresh pineapple into chunks, chop the green onions, and prep your vegetables (carrot and peas).

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove the eggs and set aside with the shrimp.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, diced carrot, and green peas for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.

Step 7

Add the cooled rice to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up any clumps.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the rice and mix well to evenly coat all the grains.

Step 9

Stir in the shrimp, scrambled eggs, pineapple chunks, and green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cashews if desired. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
