Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1/2 lb large shrimp
  • 1 cup Jasmine rice
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • 1 avocado

For the Pineapple Salsa:

  • 1/3 pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

 

  1. Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, drizzle the shrimp with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
  2. Air Fry the Shrimp: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Air fry the shrimp for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Pineapple Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, tomato, and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Mix well, taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  4. Assemble the Rice Bowl: To assemble, place a layer of cooked Jasmine rice in a bowl. Top with the air-fried shrimp, pineapple salsa, and avocado slices.
  5. Optional Topping: Finish with a drizzle of avocado crema if desired, and enjoy your tropical escape in a bowl!

Equipment

Notes

  • Cooking the Rice: For perfectly fluffy Jasmine rice, rinse it thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. This prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
  • Shrimp Tips: Ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning by tossing them in a mixing bowl. Also, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • Salsa Adjustments: If you prefer a sweeter salsa, add more pineapple. For more heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a chopped jalapeño.
