03 - 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the shrimp and pineapple

08 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) teriyaki sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon honey
10 - 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
11 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil
13 - 1 1/2 cups (250 g) pineapple chunks, patted dry

For serving

14 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
16 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
17 - 1 lime, cut into wedges

# Instructions:

01 - Combine rinsed rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
02 - Whisk teriyaki sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let sit for 10-15 minutes while the rice finishes.
03 - Heat oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lift shrimp from the marinade and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Add the remaining marinade to the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened. Spoon it over the cooked shrimp.
05 - Add pineapple chunks to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until warmed and lightly caramelized at the edges.
06 - Fluff the rice. Press a portion into a lightly oiled ring mold or measuring cup on each plate. Top with shrimp and pineapple, then garnish with scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and lime.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served right after assembly while the shrimp are tender and the pineapple is warm.
02 - Use gluten-free tamari and certified gluten-free teriyaki sauce if needed.
