  • 1/4  cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4  cup ketchup
  • 2  teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/3  cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2  tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1  teaspoon chicken-flavor instant bouillon
  • 2  tablespoons sesame seed

Directions

  1. Line shallow baking pan with paper towel. Cut each pineapple in half lengthwise, cutting through green top. Using small sharp knife, remove fruit without piercing through rind, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shell. Turn shells upside down on paper towel-lined pan to drain. Trim core from fruit; cut fruit into 1/2-inch chunks. Reserve 4 cups pineapple chunks. Refrigerate remaining pineapple chunks for another use.

  2. While rice is cooking, in small bowl, combine water, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch and bouillon; blend well. Set aside.

  3. In large nonstick skillet or wok, cook and stir sesame seed over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from skillet; set aside.

  4. In same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add carrot, bell pepper and garlic; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

  5. Add shrimp; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Stir cornstarch mixture until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture and reserved pineapple chunks to skillet; cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly.

  6. To serve, spoon 1 cup rice into 1 end of each pineapple shell. Spoon shrimp mixture into other end of shell. Sprinkle with sesame seed.
