Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Pineapple Salsa
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

- You can substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes to the salsa if you like a bit of heat.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for added color and flavor.
- Make sure shrimp is fully cooked until opaque to ensure safety.
