Thai Fried Prawn and Pineapple Rice

Thai Fried Prawn and Pineapple Rice is a low calorie recipe that is always a winner. The pineapple with the prawns and Thai spices just make this a superb one dish meal. Using pre cooked basmati rice saves time when actually cooking. This recipe can be ready within 20 minutes making it ideal for hungry families.  This can be a side dish but also a main dish making it nice and versatile. I often serve this with Shrimp Satay and its perfect partner Spicy Peanut Sauce for a filling meal. Keep this in mind when you are home late or in a rush. It always keeps you going.
