Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (uncooked) brown rice
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1 1/4 pound shrimp, shelled and deveined, chopped into chunks (1 pound after peeled)
• 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into small chunks
• 5 large scallions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 fresh chili pepper or jalepeno, chopped
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• Cilantro for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Cook brown rice according to package directions and set aside to cool.

Cut a pineapple in half and hollow out both halves to make two bowls. Cut a piece off the bottom of the pineapple halves to create a flat base. Cut the pineapple into small pieces and set aside.

Heat a nonstick wok on high heat; when hot add oil. Add shrimp and cook a few minutes until almost cooked though. Set shrimp aside.

Add the scallions, chili and garlic to the wok. Saute about a minute, then add the rice and pineapple and stir a few times. Add soy sauce and fish sauce, stir to mix all the ingredients and cook another 30 seconds. Place in hollowed out pineapple cut in half lengthwise. Garnish with cilantro.
