Making fried rice at home that tastes just as good or even better-than-takeout is fast, easy, and comes together in minutes. I have many other fried rice recipes on my website including Chicken, Shrimp, a Sheet Pan version, and even Fried Cauliflower Rice. They’re some of the most popular recipes on my site and have been for years! This version has what I like to think of as a Hawaiian twist because of the shrimp and pineapple. The sweetness of the pineapple contrasted with the soy sauce is just perfect. Also incorporated are pieces of red bell peppers, peas, carrots, corn, and scrambled eggs for lots of hidden gems of texture and flavor within every bite of this pineapple shrimp rice.

How to Make Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
Making shrimp fried rice with pineapple couldn’t be simpler! I’ve given lots of tips and tricks in this blog post to ensure you have fried rice success, but here’s an overview of the cooking process:
Storage and Reheating Instructions
To store: Let leftover pineapple shrimp fried rice cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days (I don’t recommend freezing). To reheat: Warm individual portions in the microwave for 30-second intervals. Shrimp tends to become rubbery when reheated, so check the fried rice frequently to prevent this from happening.
