Prepare rice according to pkg. directions for 4 servings.  Spread cooked rice on a rimmed baking sheet, and chill for 30 minutes.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp. oil over medium heat.  Add eggs; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until done.  Remove scrambled eggs from skillet.  Wipe skillet with a paper towel.

Heat skillet over medium-high heat; add remaining 6 tsp. oil.  Add shrimp; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm.  Add eggs, rice, pineapple and green onion to skillet; cook for 2 minutes, or just until heated through, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt and red pepper.
