1 (13 ounce) can juice-pack pineapple chunks
    or tidbits (drain and reserve juice)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans shrimp, rinsed and drained

Fluffy rice

Method:

1. Place pea pods and drained pineapple in crock pot.
2. In a small saucepan, stir together cornstarch and sugar.
