1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha
For the Fried Rice:
2 cups premade white rice
1 small white onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ inch piece ginger, minced
1 Fresno chile, seeded and chopped
1 pineapple, chopped
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
½ bunch green onions, thinly sliced
Gorton’s® Butterfly Shrimp, cooked according to packaging instructions until 145°F or higher (remove tails and chop ½ cup, reserve the rest for serving/plating) or Gorton’s® Popcorn Shrimp cooked according to packaging instructions until 145°F of higher (chop ½ cup, reserve the rest for serving/plating).
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl mix together the stir fry sauce ingredients.
Step 2
Cook the Gorton’s® Butterfly Shrimp or Gorton’s® Popcorn Shrimp according to packaging instructions, to an internal temperature of 145°F or higher.
Step 3
Heat a wok, cast iron skillet or dutch oven on high heat. Add cooking oil. When the pan is smoking hot add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the rice and stir fry while breaking apart any clumps of rice. Add the pineapple, chopped Gorton’s® Butterfly Shrimp (or Gorton’s® Popcorn Shrimp), and Fresno and continue to fry, mixing constantly to prevent burning.
Step 5
Add the stir fry sauce and mix until fully coated and the rice begins to brown on the edges.
Step 6
Fill a halved pineapple with fried rice and serve in bowls. Garnish with cilantro and green onions. Top with crispy Gorton’s® Butterfly Shrimp or Gorton’s® Popcorn Shrimp and serve with sweet chili sauce on the side. Enjoy!
