Notes

  1. This recipe is adapted from my Filipino Style Spam Garlic Fried Rice Anyone Will Love
  2. For tips on cooking the rice, please refer to Sam’s Pro Tips for this Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice section for further discussion.
  3. Cooking time of the shrimp can vary depending how large the shrimp is. Watch it closely as once it starts to change to a reddish-orange color and slightly shrunken, its ready!
  4. If using pineapple chunks from a can, make sure to drain the can first before tossing with the rice.
