Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse jasmine rice. Combine with water in a pot, bring to boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Mix cubed pineapple, red onion, and cilantro in a small bowl with lime juice.
  3. Toss shrimp with spices and oil. Sear in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side until charred and opaque.

Notes

Ensure shrimp are very dry before searing to get the best char marks.
Use fresh pineapple rather than canned for the best texture.
