• Combine chicken, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, Shaoxing rice wine, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. Mix and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Place shrimp in a separate bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Remove 1/4 of the pineapple lengthways, leaving the green leaves intact for presentation, if you like; scoop out the pineapple flesh using a spoon. Chop pineapple flesh into small pieces and set aside. Place hollow pineapple on a baking tray.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic, carrots, and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add prawns and cook for 1 to 2 minutes; add cooked rice and pineapple, mixing well to combine. Stir in beaten egg until cooked through.
• Spoon fried rice into prepared pineapple shell; bake in the preheated oven until piping hot, about 10 minutes. Bring pineapple to the table and let everyone help themselves!

SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a very large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high. Add the olive oil and shrimp, and sprinkle with salt and the garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is no longer translucent and begins to turn golden at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion and mixed vegetables to the shrimpy oil and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the onion loses its raw edge but is still crunchy, and the vegetables are mostly thawed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice and soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until well combined and the rice begins to crisp underneath where it meets the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce as needed.
• Scooch the rice to one side of the pan, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter on the empty side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the melted butter, break the yolks and stir vigorously to scramble the eggs, cooking just until they have set but are still tender, about 1 minute. Stir the soft scrambled eggs into the rice, add the reserved shrimp and any accumulated juices, then remove the pan from the heat.
• Let the fried rice sit for a few minutes so that it can continue to crisp in the pan's residual heat. (If you haven't already made the yum yum sauce, this is the perfect time to do it.)
• Drizzle most of the yum yum sauce over the fried rice in the skillet, leaving some back, if desired, to serve in a small dish on the side for dipping the shrimp.
