If you hate removing the shells from shrimp, cheers! I love shrimp too, but if I have to peel them myself, no thanks! I’ll pass. I choose my battles, you know? 😂
But a few months ago, a grocery store opened nearby, and they’re always calling my name whenever I walk by. So yes, I gave in! 😅 That’s why I’m sharing this Shrimp Fried Rice with Pineapple I made a few weeks ago.

Add oil to a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beaten eggs and cook until they reach your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and transfer to a plate.

If using shrimp heads and shells, add them to the pan. Press down to release the juices. Let them cook for about 2 minutes, then remove the shells, leaving the juices in the pan.
-
Push the juices to one side of the pan, and add more oil to the other side. Add the chopped carrot, garlic, and spring onions, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chopped bell pepper and green peas, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add the rice and “cook” until the rice is warmed through and soft.
