Pineapple and Shrimp Fried Rice

Submitted by Shirl

"Found on the back of my new love Jasamine Rice. This rice smells so amazing while it is cooking, then the taste is just as good. I have not tried this recipe as shrimp is not something that I have on hand all the time. I'm going to have to make a special effort to buy some, just to fix this. I'm thinking that a good Chow Mein or Almond Chicken would go good, but it might do just as well on its own."
