Pineapple Shrimp Bowls

Servings: 4

Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice leftover from preparing the pineapple bowls
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos tamari, Braggs liquid amino, or low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsps hot sauce of choice
  • 2 Tbsps rice/apple cider/wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 1-2 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Tbsp gluten-free flour or arrowroot powder

For the shrimp:

  • 1 lb medium shrimp peeled, deveined, patted dry
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 2 red bell peppers chopped
  • 2 small ripe pineapples
  • 1-½ cups fresh or frozen garden peas thawed
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsps avocado or olive oil divided
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions

  • Carefully slice your pineapples in half lengthways through the stem.
  • Next, lay the pineapple halves cut side up onto the cutting board. Using a paring knife, cut around the edges, leaving a 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick edge as shown. This will help you to carve the flesh easier. Scoop out the pineapple flesh, and pour any juice into a small bowl. You should have around 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple juice total from the 2 fruits. Set your pineapple bowls aside.
  • Remove and discard the tough center from the pineapple flesh. Dice the flesh into cubes and set it aside in a bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of your oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the shrimp, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper if desired and saute for 3-5 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Set shrimp aside on a plate.
  • Meanwhile, add all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and whisk really well to combine.
  • In that same preheated skillet, add the rest of the oil and cook your bell pepper together with the red onion for 3-4 minutes. Add in the garden peas and chopped pineapple flesh. Pour in your sauce mixture over the ingredients in the hot skillet. Let it simmer while gently stirring until it reduces a bit.
  • Return the shrimp into your skillet, and cook for no more than 1 minute, just until the shrimp are heated through.
  • Spoon your shrimp mixture into your pineapples, garnish with green onions and enjoy!
