Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked white rice (Chilled)
- 1 pound medium shrimp (Peeled and Deveined)
- 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, pour in the remaining oil. Toss in the garlic and carrots, cooking for about 2 minutes until the carrots start to soften up.
- Stir in the chilled rice. Tip: Day-cold rice is best as it prevents the pineapple and shrimp rice from becoming mushy. Break up any clumps with your spoon and fry for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, peas, and pineapple pieces, and stir everything together until the rice is coated.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and stir everything for 2 minutes or less until the entire meal is heated through.
- Garnish the dish with chopped green onions before serving and enjoy.
