Perfect Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice

recipe

• Step 1
  Peel the shrimp if needed. If using frozen shrimp, defrost completely.
• Step 2
  Halve the pineapple from the stem to the root. Carefully cut around the inside of the pineapple, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Cut the flesh of the pineapple into 1 inch cubes. Using a spoon, scoop out the cubes. Discard the center core pieces. Reserve & set aside the remaining cubes along with any juices.
• Step 3
  Thinly slice the scallion. Separate the white & green pieces.
• Step 4
  In a small bowl, whisk the egg.
• Step 5
  Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet on medium heat (for extra flavor, use sesame oil if you have it). Add the white parts of the scallion & cook for 1 min.
• Step 6
  Add the shrimp to the skillet & cook until the shrimp is mostly pink, about 4-5 min.
• Step 7
  Add the mixed vegetables, stir & cook for 1-2 min.
• Step 8
  Add the cooked rice & stir. Make room in the center of the pan & add another drizzle of oil. Pour the scrambled egg into the center of the pan & stir until the egg is mostly cooked through, about 1-2 min. Next, incorporate the egg into the rest of the rice mixture.
• Step 9
  Add the soy sauce & diced pineapple. Stir & cook for another 1-2 min. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Step 10
  Fill the pineapple boat with the fried rice & top with the remaining sliced scallions. Serve & enjoy !
