Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Pineapple Salsa

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Make the pineapple salsa: In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, chopped red onion, lime juice, and cilantro if using. Mix well and season with salt to taste, adjusting flavors as needed.
  3. Assemble the bowl: Place a serving of cooked rice in each bowl. Top with the cooked shrimp and spoon the pineapple salsa over the shrimp. Serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor; canned pineapple can be substituted but should be drained well.
  • 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.
