Shrimp & Pineapple Bowl (Chicken Charlie’s Copy)

August 9, 2019 By //  by Brie OCD Leave a Comment

shrimp pineapple bowl 1So we went to the Del Mar County Fair recently and I got the same thing as last year. Chicken Charlie’s Pineapple Express Bowl and I was in Heaven! I got the Teriyaki Chicken BUT when I got home I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate it using shrimp! So I now present to you this delicious Shrimp & Pineapple bowl recipe inspired by Chicken Charlie himself!

NUTRITION

Per serving the complete recipe (with quinoa, avocado & onions) has 304 Calories, 10g fat, 33g carbs and 19g protein. If you want to be a rebel and just eat the shrimp and pineapple solo the stats are: 184 calories, 5.5g fat, 16g carbs and 15g protein.

INGREDIENT OPTIONS

There are so many ways you can serve this and it all depends on your preference and amount of time that you have. I always use Trader Joe’s Tricolor Quinoa but you can use whatever base your little heart desires. White rice, regular quinoa, Bulgar, skies the limit! If you are short on time you can also use canned pineapple slices and just cut into bite size pieces instead of using a fresh pineapple. And you can always buy your shrimp peeled so you don’t have to take the shells off. This will save you about 10 minutes off the prep time by utilizing both of these alternatives.

SERVE IN THE PINEAPPLE??chicken charlies at the fair square

Chicken Charlie serves his fancy feast in a hallowed out pineapple. You can certainly do this as well however I chose to just serve it in a regular ‘ol bowl. Why? Ain’t nobody got time for that! I am just a regular ‘ol gal and I just wanted to cook this and devour it. I wasn’t looking for any fancy presentation, however if you are cooking this for a dinner party, you may just want to serve it in the pineapple to really wow your guests!

PICKLED ONIONS

This recipe includes a quick version of pickled onions. You can eliminate them altogether or give your bowl a bit of flair by including them. If you end up using canned pineapple I would add some of the juice from the pineapple can into the bowl with the onions. It will speed up the pickling process and give you a little extra kick of pineapple!

FANCY OR NAH?

This dish looks fancy but it is honestly super easy! Another perk is that you are only using the broiler so it doesn’t heat up your house! SCORE! It literally takes 30 minutes or even LESS if you cut some corners and will have you coming back for more! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
