SUNNY'S EASY SHRIMP AND RICE PINEAPPLE BOATS



Sunny's Easy Shrimp and Rice Pineapple Boats image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pineapple
1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 16/20 shrimp, peeled and deveined
One 10-ounce tray microwaveable basmati or jasmine rice, prepared according to package
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, for spritzing

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Preheat the grill or the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare the pineapple and sauce. Slice the pineapple in half. Slice the core out of the center and discard. Cut out the flesh, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around. Finely chop two-thirds of the pineapple flesh and set aside in a bowl. Add the remaining pineapple flesh to a blender along with the BBQ sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then blend until smooth.
  • Prepare the shrimp. Add the shrimp to an aluminum foil pouch (or create a pouch with aluminum foil), then sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour the pineapple BBQ sauce over the top. Close the pouch and place over the direct heat of the grill, or on the bottom rack of the oven. Cook until a quick peek inside reveals opaque shrimp, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • For the rice: In the bowl with the reserved chopped pineapple, add the rice, cilantro, scallions, zest and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • To serve: Divide and fill both halves of the pineapple with the rice. Remove the shrimp from the pouch and top both pineapple halves equally. Pour the juices from the pouch over everything. Top with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges for spritzing.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups pineapple chunks, fresh or canned

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a sweeter and more vibrant flavor than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
  • Choose large shrimp: Large shrimp are easier to skewer and cook evenly. If you only have small shrimp, you can use them, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs will help to add flavor and moisture. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the shrimp and pineapple separately: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and the pineapple from getting too soft. You can cook the shrimp on a grill, in a pan, or in the oven. The pineapple can be grilled, roasted, or sautéed.
  • Serve the shrimp and pineapple immediately: This dish is best served fresh off the grill or out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and fresh pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout or party. The sweet and juicy pineapple pairs perfectly with the savory shrimp, and the marinade adds a flavorful touch. This dish can be served as an appetizer or main course, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
