ALOHA SHRIMP & RICE BOWL

I'm a big fan of recipes that come together in a pinch- and this sweet and savory shrimp bowl does just that!

Ready in less than 30 minutes, this recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Odds are, you have a few of these ingredients in your pantry already, which greatly cuts costs!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 1 cup dry rice (I used brown basmati, however I prefer jasmine rice for this dish!)

• 2 tbsp butter, divided

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice/ tidbits

• 1/4 cup lime juice

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

• Cilantro, minced, to taste

• Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Cook rice according to package directions and set aside. For this recipe, I brought the water to a boil, added a splash of garlic cooking oil, lime juice, a tablespoon of butter, and a dash of salt, then added my rice. It adds nice flavor!

2. In a large bowl, toss prepared shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of butter over medium-heat. Add in your shrimp.

4. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add your lime juice, honey, and pineapple juice with the tidbits, stir and simmer for an additional 3 minutes.

6. Scoop some rice into a bowl, add your shrimp and pineapple, and garnish with fresh cilantro!
