Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Partially cook the rice:

Step 3

In a pot, combine 1 cup uncooked brown rice with 2 cups water.

Step 4

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes only (rice will still be firm and undercooked).

Step 5

Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, cayenne (if using).

Step 7

Spread the partially cooked rice in the greased baking dish.

Step 8

Evenly distribute pineapple chunks over the rice.

Step 9

Place the seasoned shrimp over the top.

Step 10

Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Step 11

Bake for 30 minutes at 350° covered. The rice will finish cooking and absorb the shrimp and pineapple flavors.

Step 12

Uncover and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through and starting to caramelize on top.

Step 13

Optional broil: For more color, broil for 1-2 minutes after baking.

Step 14

Garnish with parsley before serving.
