Come to Thailand to try!

Prep time: 25 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Serves: 2

Ingredients:
    •    250g thai rice (normal, jasmine, or mix dark white rice)
    •    1 tb sp oil
    •    10/12 small shrimp (after peeled chopped)
    •    1/2 fresh pineapple (cut into small chunks)
    •    5 scallions (large, chopped)
    •    1 clove garlic (minced)
    •    2 ts ps soy sauce
    •    1 tb sp curry
    •    1 tb sp fish sauce
    •    fresh cilantro (for garnish)
    •    half fresh lime (optional)

Preparation:
    1.    Take 7/8 minutes to clean well the fresh pineapple: cut the fruit in the vertical half, use only one half. Empty the pineapple shell with knife and spoon, leaving about 0,5cm of pulp on the peel. Clean well the shell internally 'cause it will be the rice serving container. Chop the pineapple pulp and take 1 cup of it.
    2.    Set a pot of water on to boil for the rice. Cook the rice. Drain and set aside.
    3.    Heat wok over high heat, swirl the oil in pan to coat. Add minced garlic and chopped shrimp, and stir-fry 3 minutes or until done. Transfer to a large bowl, cover and keep warm.
    4.    In the same heated oil stir in scallions, pineapple and rice, and stir-fry 1 to 3 minutes or until heated through. Add cooked shrimps.
    5.    Combine soy and fish sauce with curry in a glass; stir into rice mixture.
    6.    Serve inside the pineapple shell, topped with fresh cilantro. Optionally squeeze over a slice of lime juice.

ENJOY!!!
