Caribbean Bowls with Jerk Shrimp

Step 1

Roast plantains: Roast plantains according to package instructions. You can use the oven or the air-fryer for this!

Step 2

Make rice: While plantains are roasting, prepare rice: sort and rinse rice before cooking. Combine 1 ½ cups rice with 3 cups water in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt, if using. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover with lid and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and keep warm until ready to serve.

Step 3

Make pineapple salsa: add pineapple, black beans, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, pepper and lime juice in a bowl. Toss to combine.

Step 4

Cook shrimp: toss shrimp with jerk seasoning. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Serve: place rice in each bowl, top with shrimp, a scoop of black bean pineapple mixture, and 3-4 roasted plantains. Garnish with cilantro, hot sauce and dressing, if using.
