Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice Recipe

I am used to the traditional 'fried rice'. That with veggies, chicken or even just egg.  This recipe has some unique flavors, using shrimp and pineapple for a tropical twist. This dish makes the perfect healthy Asian inspired meal, served with a spring roll and some egg drop soup!

Ingredients
2 eggs
1 small white onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3.5 cups cooked brown rice
1 20oz can pineapple chunks, drained
2 cups raw shrimp, deveined and peeled
1/2 cup frozen peas
3 T soy-sauce
1 T hoisin sauce
1 t sesame oil
1/4 t pepper + Kosher salt to taste
Cooking spray

Directions
In a small bowl, whisk your eggs.  Spray a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and add eggs. Cook scrambled eggs until set. Remove from heat and set aside.

Spray a large skillet or Dutch oven with cooking spray. Sautée the onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cool about a minute longer. Add pineapple, pea, rice and shrimp and heat through.

In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, hoisin, sugar, sesame oil and pepper. Pour over rice mixture and mix until warmed. Add eggs and serve!

Tip
This makes great leftovers. After dinner is done individually portion containers for a delish grab and go lunch!
