Pineapple Teriyaki Shrimp Rice (Printable Version)

Juicy teriyaki shrimp and pineapple on coconut-infused jasmine rice for a sweet-savory meal.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Rice

01 - 2 cups jasmine rice
02 - 3 cups chicken broth
03 - 1/4 cup soy sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes

→ Shrimp

07 - 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
08 - 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon honey
10 - 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

→ Pineapple

11 - 1 can (15 oz) pineapple chunks, drained

# Steps to Cook:

01 - In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 to 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in toasted coconut flakes.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk teriyaki sauce, honey, and grated ginger. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the shrimp and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
03 - Add drained pineapple chunks to the skillet with shrimp and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through.
04 - Serve the jasmine rice topped with the teriyaki shrimp and pineapple mixture. Optionally, sprinkle additional toasted coconut flakes before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - To enhance texture, use freshly toasted coconut flakes and ensure shrimp are not overcooked to maintain juiciness.
