• 2 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
• 0.25 cup Cashews (optional, toasted)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare all the ingredients before starting: dice the pineapple, onion, and bell pepper; slice the green onions; and chop the cilantro. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 2

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

4. Add the red bell pepper and frozen peas. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color.

Step 5

5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until just set. Mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetables.

Step 6

6. Add the chilled jasmine rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

7. Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, curry powder, and brown sugar. Toss the mixture well to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.

Step 8

8. Add the cooked shrimp and diced pineapple to the skillet. Gently mix everything together and cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 9

9. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the fried rice with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and toasted cashews if desired.

Step 10

10. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrusy kick. Enjoy!
