Pressure Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp is slightly sweet and slightly spicy and cooks up in one pot!

Pressure Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp

Pressure Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp

Rice, Peppers, Pineapple and Shrimp,🍍 OMG, so delicious. Slightly sweet and slightly spicy is a perfect paring. Super easy one pot meal. Dump it all into the pot and dinner in under 20 minutes! The beauty of this Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp recipe is that you can turn it into a Risotto or Rice dish, or, use Quinoa for a higher protein, lower carb meal!

Sure, this recipe is so easy to make in a skillet on the stove, but the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker will save you from having to babysit your food and infuse the flavor into the rice and shrimp.

Ingredients for Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp

  • Bell Pepper
  • Shrimp
  • Scallions
  • Unsweetened Pineapple Chunks
  • Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
  • Sambal Oelek Chili Paste
  • Soy Sauce
  • Calrose Rice or Quinoa
  • Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
  • Dry White Wine

Broth can be substituted for the Dry White Wine, if desired.

 

Rinse the Rice under Cool Water to remove starch

Rinse the Rice under Cool Water

Make sure to always rinse the Rice, so that it runs clear.

Take a Strainer Basket and rinse the rice to remove some of the starch. This helps to achieve fluffy rice that doesn’t stick together. 

Types of Rice to Use

  • For a Rice dish, use Jasmine, Basmati or other White Rice.
  • For a risotto-ish dish, use a Calrose Rice. I say risotto-ish, as it is not a true Ristotto, like my Pressure Cooker Best Wild Mushroom Risotto recipe.

We love Calrose Rice so that is what we use most. 

Another yummy Shrimp dish to try is my Pressure Cooker Seafood Corn Chowder.

 

Layer in the Ingredients Peppers Rice, Seasonings Scallions, Broth

Layer in the Ingredients

Everything goes into the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker cooking pot except for the Shrimp and the Pineapple Chunks.

If you are using Quinoa, you will need to adjust the cooking time down to one minute.

 

Add Frozen Shrimp on Top

Add Frozen Shrimp on Top

It is important in this recipe to add the Shrimp while they are still frozen.

Costco sell bags of the Jumbo Shrimp for a pretty decent price.

 

The Shrimp will Quickly turn Pink

The Shrimp will Quickly turn Pink

Give the Pressure Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp a good stir, so that the rest of the liquid gets absorbed  by the Calrose Rice or Quinoa.

You might need to use the Sauté or Browning feature, if the rice is not as soft as you like.

 

Add in the Pineapple and Green Scallion Tops

Lastly, add in the Pineapple Chunks and the Scallions.

I like to add in the Green part of the Scallions after pressure cooking.

It adds nice texture and they wilt quickly.

 

So Colorful when Mixed

Mix in the Pineapple Chunks to warm.

We all eat with our eyes and this dish does not disappoint.

The bright Red, Yellow and Green makes the Pressure Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp look so yummy.

Instructions

  • Drain Juice from Pineapple and set Pineapple Chunks aside. 
  • Measure out 3/4 cup of Pineapple Juice.
  • Chop scallions and separate out the white part from the green.
  • Rinse rice under water and mix until water drains out clear.
  • Add rice to Instant Pot.
  • Add Red Bell Peppers, Pineapple Juice, Wine, Water, Chili Sauce, Soy Sauce, Sambal Oelek, and white parts of the scallions. Mix everything together.
  • Place frozen Shrimp on top. ]Shrimp must be frozen, otherwise, they will become overcooked.]
  • Lock on Lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook on High Pressure for 2 minutes.
  • When Beep sounds, wait 10 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
  • Remove lid and mix through.
  • Add Pineapple Chunks and Scallion tops and mix through.

Notes

Shrimp must be frozen. If not, they will over cook. If you want to use fresh or thawed shrimp, add them after removing the lid and stir into hot rice to cook.
Make sure your rinse your rice until the water comes clean. This will help to remove excess starch so that the pot does not produce a burn notice.
