Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside.

Drain the juice from the pineapple into a bowl. Add the water, teriyaki, vinegar, peanut butter as desired, and cornstarch and whisk until well blended. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat, add the vegetables and ginger, and stir-fry 3 minutes.

Add the shrimp and pineapple and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Re-whisk the pineapple juice mixture and add to the skillet.

Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer and stir gently until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
