Best 7 Sunnys Easy Shrimp And Rice Pineapple Boats Recipes

PINEAPPLE BOAT SHRIMP WITH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, add the shrimp, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, the lemongrass, 1 tablespoon of ginger and the cornstarch and combine well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• In a large saute pan over high heat, heat the peanut oil and add half the shrimp mixture. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes and remove. Repeat for second batch of shrimp, adding additional oil, if necessary.
• Add in the red bell peppers and the onions and saute for 3 minutes, then add the jalapeno, garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of ginger. Stir in the remaining soy sauce and add the shrimp back into the saute pan. Heat until warmed through. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the Fruit Salsa.
• In a glass bowl, combine the mint, serrano pepper, ginger, rice vinegar and red pepper flakes. Stir in the pineapple, the onions, red bell pepper and apricots. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

FRIED RICE PINEAPPLE BOAT

Steps:

• Halve the pineapple lengthwise, right through the crown, keeping it attached. Put both halves cut-side up in front of you. On one of the halves, use a small sharp knife to cut into and around the perimeter of the fruit about 1/4 inch in from the peel. Locate the core in the center: cut it out on an angle on either side (it will look like a long V) and discard. Cut the remaining pineapple into a grid of small squares. Use a spoon to scoop the pieces out, leaving the pineapple empty. Chop any large pieces a little smaller and set aside in a bowl. Repeat with the other pineapple half, but reserve the pieces of fruit for another use.
• Whisk together the eggs and a small pinch of salt in a small bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them run freely until they cover most of the bottom. Cook, undisturbed, until the top is set and no longer runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Roll up into a cylinder and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into thin spiral slices.
• Return the skillet to high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. Once the oil just begins to smoke, add the ham, sugar, garlic, ginger, scallion whites and 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until the ham is browned, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, pepper and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and the pepper is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the pineapple pieces, cooked egg, most of the peanuts and scallion greens, the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and salt to taste.
• Fill each pineapple half with the fried rice. Sprinkle with the remaining peanuts and scallion greens.

SUNNY'S PORK KEBABS AND BAKED PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, vegetable oil, gochujang and garlic. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag and add the pork, moving the bag around to ensure the marinade coats all of the pork. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours.
• After 1 1/2 hours, remove the bag with the meat from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak in water at this point.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Thread 5 to 6 pork cubes on each skewer. Season the pork on all sides with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill and flip to cook on all sides until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with Sunny's Baked Pineapple Rice (or cover with aluminum foil until serving).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the rice and pineapple in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In a medium pot on high heat, add the coconut milk, butter, salt, some black pepper and 1 cup water. Cook until the butter melts and the mixture is just below simmering. Pour over the rice and immediately cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Add the almonds and scallions, fluff with a fork and serve warm.

SUNNY'S EASY MUSSELS AND SHRIMP PAELLA POUCHES

Steps:

• For the seafood: Combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl. Combine the frozen mussels and shrimp (still frozen) in a large bowl and drizzle the mixture over the top. Toss the seafood to evenly coat.
• For the pouches: Lay four 16- to 20-inch-long pieces of nonstick aluminum foil out on a flat surface and top each one with a piece of parchment paper the same size. Divide the ingredients equally amongst each pouch, starting with the onions in the center of each in a 3-by-5-inch rectangle. Top the onions with the tomato halves, a pinch of salt, rice, peas, then seafood. To close, pull the long sides up over the mixture to meet and fold down together leaving some room for steam (about an inch above your pile), then close the short ends and fold upwards for easy opening.
• Set the oven or grill to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the pouches on a baking sheet if using the oven, just in case you have a tiny spill. Bake or place the pouches over the indirect heat and cook for 25 minutes. Remove one and open gently; if the mussels are not open and the shrimp are still a bit underdone, close and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Remove the pouches, and, when cool enough to handle, open and spritz with lemon and garnish with parsley.

NO FUSS PEEL N'EAT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss shrimp evenly in oil and seasoning and bake on a sheet tray for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with Spicy Remoulade sauce as dip.
• Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.

PINEAPPLE BOATS

Steps:

• Quarter a pineapple lengthwise, leaving the green top on each piece. Slice out the core and discard. Score the flesh down to the skin. Then run a knife between skin and flesh, to liberate the pieces. What you want is the whole thing to look like it's still intact, but be easy to eat in bite-size cubes. You can splash it with rum if you like.
