How to Make It
1. Marinate the shrimp.
Combine the shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cilantro. Toss well and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
2. Make the rice.
Add the jasmine rice, broth and butter to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and cook for about 12–15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff, then stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt.
3. Make the pineapple salsa.
Gently combine the pineapple, avocado, red pepper, tomato, red onion and cilantro. Add the lime juice and salt. Toss gently so you don't mash the avocado.
4. Make the chipotle sauce.
Stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, sriracha, paprika, chili powder, salt and lime juice until smooth. Taste it—you can add a little more honey for sweetness or sriracha for heat.
5. Cook the shrimp.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook approximately 2–3 minutes per side, until they're opaque and lightly browned. Shrimp cook FAST, so don't wander off. 😂
6. Build your bowls.
Start with cilantro-lime rice → pile on the pineapple-avocado salsa → add the warm shrimp → drizzle that creamy chipotle sauce all over the top.
