Taste of Home Sweet and Spicy Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa

This was delicious! We devoured this dish. I absolutely loved the fresh pineapple salsa. The original recipe called for 3/4 cup black beans that are rinsed and drained. I left that out as not everyone in my family can have beans.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked basmati rice
  • 3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained-optional
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon sriracha chili sauce
  • 3 cups cubed fresh pineapple
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro-I left out
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp

DIRECTIONS

Cook rice according to package instructions, stir in beans. Cover and keep warm.

While rice cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, brown sugar and chili sauce, bring to a boil. Cook uncovered on high until the liquid is reduced to a 1/2 cup, 10-12 minutes.

For the salsa, toss pineapple with red pepper, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Once the sauce has reduced, stir in the shrimp and return to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until shrimp turns pink. 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with rice and salsa.

Enjoy!
