Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
½ cup frozen corn
2 cloves garlic, finely minced, or more to taste

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, pineapple, and vegetables will give your fried rice the best flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until it is pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky, which will help to prevent your fried rice from becoming mushy.
  • Use a large wok or skillet: A large wok or skillet will help you to evenly cook the rice and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the rice in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of fried rice, cook it in batches to prevent the rice from becoming overcrowded and mushy.
  • Add the sauce gradually: Add the sauce to the rice gradually, and stir constantly to prevent the rice from becoming too wet.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish your fried rice with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or green onions, for a pop of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp and pineapple fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
