Preparation
  1. Prepare the Pineapple Boat: Slice a ripe pineapple in half lengthwise. Score the flesh into small cubes, then scoop out the fruit, reserving the chunks for later.
  2. Mise en Place: Gather and prepare all ingredients, ensuring jasmine rice is chilled and day-old.
Cooking
  1. Cook Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Set aside.
  2. Scramble Eggs: In the same wok, add more oil if needed. Crack in eggs and scramble for 1-2 minutes until just set.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add more oil, then stir in minced garlic and chopped onions. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add Rice and Sauce: Toss in chilled jasmine rice, break up clumps, then pour in sauce mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix Remaining Ingredients: Stir in reserved pineapple, shrimp, scrambled eggs, and frozen peas, gently incorporating until heated through.
  6. Serve: Spoon fried rice into the hollowed-out pineapple halves and garnish with cashews, cilantro, and green onions.
