How to Make Coconut Shrimp and Pineapple Rice Stack
Step 1: Prepare the Pineapple Rice
Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the rice according to package directions, using coconut milk instead of water for a creamy texture. This adds richness and a subtle coconut flavor to the rice. You’ll need about 1 1/2 cups of cooked rice.
Sauté the Aromatics: While the rice is cooking, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
