Shrimp and Rice

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. 4. Simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. 5. While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. 6. Season the shrimp with the paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. 7. Add the seasoned shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. 8. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

Pineapple Reduction Sauce

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, white vinegar, and soy sauce. 2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. 4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pineapple juice mixture and whisk until combined. 5. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it has thickened, about 5 minutes. 6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
