½ medium yellow or red onion (90g), peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
1 lb large (16-25 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 heaping tablespoons of Nam Prik Pao (store-bought or homemade)
½ large red bell pepper, deveined and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 cup (150g) ½-inch cubes of fresh pineapple
4 cups (650g) cold cooked long-grain rice (or brown rice)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion dice; stir until soft and almost translucent.
Add the shrimp, Nam Prik Pao, and red bell pepper dice to the pan; stir until the shrimp is almost cooked through.
Add the rice and pineapple to the pan, followed by the fish sauce; stir to heat everything through and get the seasoning to coat the rice. Remove from heat. Serve with a bowl of lime-heavy (especially if you use commercial Nam Prik Pao as it can make the fried rice a bit too sweet Nam-Pla Prik (and fried eggs, if desired).
