My husband often ordered pineapple fried rice at Thai restaurants, so I surprised him by tweaking some similar recipes to come up with a version that's both simple and delicious. —Bonnie Brien, Pacific Grove, California

1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot

In same pan, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook just until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add pepper, carrot and onion; stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in pineapple and shrimp. Add rice and soy sauce mixture; heat through over medium heat, tossing to combine and break up any clumps of rice. Stir in green onions. Sprinkle with peanuts; serve with lime wedges.
Health Tip: Swap tamari for soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free. And make sure your peanuts have been processed in a gluten-free facility.

I thought this dish would be very good, but it was lacking flavor. It needs something but not sure what I would add. Will have to experiment.

Very tasty. Great 1 pan meal. Paired with some premade egg rollls on the side for an easy meal.

Excellent as is. I will make this again and again adding a little more soy sauce, an egg, and some sliced water chestnuts.

We are huge fans of just about any fried rice, so this one caught my eye. I have made it twice, first time as written, second time, I shredded the carrot, and added some sweet corn. We love the pineapple, not too sweet. This is a keeper.

I used 24 oz of shrimp and just green onion as I'm low-fodmap. I also would reduce the amount of pineapple to like 18oz. It was amazing and so easy!

This was great! I halved the recipe for the two of us, except for using the full amount of the soy-curry-sugar mixture. I microwaved the jasmine rice and added a bit of hot chili sesame oil to it in place of butter. We will be having this dish again before very long.
