1- Remove the heads, trim the tops of the shrimp and remove the black vein, (I kept the shells)
2- In a dish, pour oil, add a clove of garlic and a piece of fresh ginger, both finely chopped, as well as a tablespoon of soy sauce and 5 spice powder (2 tbsp).
3- Marinate for 30 minutes.
4- In the meantime, heat the wok, rub a crushed clove of garlic on the sides, sauté the shallot, the pineapple cut into small pieces, then the mushrooms cut into slices (and previously softened in water), salt and pepper.
5- Add the cooked rice and sauté for about ten minutes. Set aside in a warm dish.
6- When the shrimp marinating is done, throw them in the wok, sauté them, turning them on each side, they should remain tender, then add the marinating juice and reduce for 10 minutes.
7- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to caramelize slightly.
Plate your shrimp and rice on plates, sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
