Seasoned with our signature Bowtie Seasoning, this dish gets a citrusy lift that makes every bite sing. It’s proof that restaurant-quality flavor doesn’t have to take all night — just a few fresh ingredients, one hot grill, and 20 minutes in the kitchen.

Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Bowtie Seasoning
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
2 cups cooked white rice
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Optional garnish: sliced avocado, extra lime wedges, or a sprinkle of chili flakes

Directions

Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
Toss shrimp in olive oil and season generously with Bowtie Seasoning. Thread onto skewers if desired for easy grilling.
Grill shrimp and pineapple for 2–3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and slightly charred and the pineapple has caramelized edges.
Make the rice base: In a large bowl, mix warm cooked rice with lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro. Adjust seasoning with a pinch more Bowtie if desired.
Assemble the bowls: Start with a base of cilantro-lime rice, top with grilled shrimp and pineapple, and finish with your choice of garnishes.

Serving Tips

Fresh & light: Add sliced avocado or cucumber for extra creaminess and crunch.
Turn up the heat: Sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle hot sauce for a spicy edge.
Make it a feast: Serve alongside grilled vegetables or a crisp green salad.

What makes Bowtie Seasoning the star?

It’s all about balance. With its citrus-forward lemon zest and peppery bite, Bowtie Seasoning was made to brighten seafood, chicken, and vegetables alike. Here, it elevates simple shrimp and pineapple into a dish that feels gourmet without the effort.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Grill the shrimp and pineapple a few hours in advance, then reheat gently before serving. The cilantro-lime rice can be prepped the night before to make this recipe even quicker.
