Steps:
- Add oil to a wok or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and chili, stir-frying for one minute, or until fragrant. Add the shrimp and toss a few times. If the wok becomes too dry, add a little broth or water.
- Push the mixture aside to make room for the eggs. Add the beaten eggs to the wok, and stir fry quickly to cook, as if you are making scrambled eggs. Mix the cooked eggs into the shrimp and shallot mixture.
- Combine the chicken broth, fish sauce, curry powder, and sugar in a small bowl, and add to the wok.
- Add the cashews and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
- Next add the rice to the wok, breaking it up if there are any chunks. Stir-fry until all the rice has mixed with the sauce and is a uniform color. Make sure you continually scoop the rice from the bottom of the pan, tossing like a salad rather than stirring it.
- Add the pineapple, peas, and raisins. Toss to combine, and taste for seasoning. Continue stir-frying for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add half the scallions and toss.
- To serve, sprinkle with the remaining scallion. Serve on a platter or in a pineapple, like they do in Thailand.

Steps:
- Heat a large wok, cast iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and place an empty serving bowl nearby. Once the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact, add 1 teaspoon oil. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and lightly set, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the eggs to the empty bowl. Wipe out the pan if necessary with a paper towel (be careful, it's hot!).
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and add the pineapple and red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has evaporated and the pineapple is caramelized on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the green onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Transfer the contents of the pan to your bowl of eggs.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Pour in the cashews and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Add the rice to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the rice is hot, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the contents of the bowl back into the pan and stir to combine, breaking up the scrambled eggs with your spoon. Cook until the contents are warmed through, then remove the pan from heat. Add the tamari and chili garlic sauce, to taste. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime over the dish and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
- Slice the remaining 1/2 lime into 4 wedges. Transfer the stir-fry to individual serving bowls and garnish each bowl with a lime wedge and a light sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with bottles of tamari and chili garlic sauce or sriracha on the side, for those who might want to add more to their bowls.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: Select a pineapple that is heavy for its size and has bright yellow skin. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pad prik pineapple the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain and rinse it well.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality fish sauce: Fish sauce is a key ingredient in pad prik pineapple. Choose a fish sauce that is made from anchovies and salt, and that has a clear, amber color.
- Adjust the spiciness to your taste: Pad prik pineapple is a spicy dish, but you can adjust the spiciness to your taste by using more or less chili peppers.
Conclusion:
Pad prik pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make Thai dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of sweet pineapple, savory chicken, and spicy chili peppers makes for a flavorful and satisfying dish. This dish is also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
