Pineapple Shrimp Fried rice

I personally like eating Thai food and also I love the plating in the restaurants. They use half of a pineapple and fill the fried rice in it. But I have presented in a bowl 😊. I made this dish because of my sudden craving for it. 

This dish can prepared within an hour, start to finish. 

The measurements I have given serves 2 people.

Basmati rice - 3/4th cup, washed and soaked for 10 minutes

Shrimp - 10 (I have used frozen Argentinian wild shrimp)

(Wash and marinate the shrimp with 1 tsp of red chilli powder, 1/4 turmeric powder , salt - to taste)

Onion - 1 small chopped

Spring Onion - few chopped

Pineapple - 2 slices (cored and cut into pieces)

Eggs - 2 (scrambled with a pinch of salt and pepper powder)

Green bell pepper and  carrot - a 2 tbsp each (chopped)

Ginger and Garlic - 1 tbsp each (finely chopped)

Black Pepper powder- 2 tbsp

Tomato sauce and Chilli sauce - 1 tsp each ( I dont like to add soya sauce because of its high sodium content. But if you want, you can use 1 tsp)

In a sauce pan, add a 1/4 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of oil and 3 cups of water and the soaked rice and cook it, until the rice is 3/4th cooked. Then drain the excess water in a colander and keep aside.

Heat a wok and pour 2 tbsp of any cooking oil. Add the onion and saute for a minute. Then add the ginger and garlic, saute, then add the marinated shrimp. Saute for 2 minutes and close the wok with a lid. The shrimp will get cooked very quickly, so don't cook for a long time, as it will become rubbery. 

Once the shrimp is cooked, add the pineapple pieces, scrambled eggs, cooked rice, chilli sauce, tomato sauce and pepper powder and mix everything well. Finally sprinkle the chopped spring onion and serve hot!
