“During the week when I want a fast meal, I’ll buy precut fresh pineapple in the produce department and just serve this on a plate sans the pineapple boat! In a pinch, I’ve also been known to use canned pineapple. No need to share that with the masses! “
Pineapple Shrimp Bowls
I make this quick and healthy stir fry (all vegetables and shrimp) and serve it over cauliflower rice in a scooped out pineapple boat. But during the week, this is served right on a good old fashioned plate!
