Tips for the Best Teriyaki Pineapple Shrimp Bowl
Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds natural sweetness and better texture, but canned (drained) works too.
Marinate for Flavor: Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the teriyaki goodness.
Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly (2–3 minutes per side). Overcooking makes them rubbery.
Customize Your Bowl: Add avocado, edamame, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
Make it Spicy: Add sriracha, red pepper flakes, or spicy mayo for a kick.
Healthier Option: Swap rice for cauliflower rice or quinoa for a lower-carb alternative.
