Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Wash and dry all produce. Start the recipe when the air fryer is ready. To a medium pot, add rice and 1 1/3 cups water (double for 4 portions). Season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Set aside for 5 min, off heat and still covered.

Marinate Shrimp
2

Meanwhile, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. To a medium bowl, add shrimp, jerk sauce and 1/2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Toss to coat shrimp, then set aside to marinate.

Prep Ingredients
3

Cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut pineapple into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to another medium bowl. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to the bowl with pineapple. Peel, then cut one-quarter of the onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut remaining onion into 1/2-inch slices. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop cilantro.

Air-Fry Veggies
4

Add peppers and sliced onions to the air fryer basket. Spray veggies with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Arrange veggies in a single layer. Air-fry for 7-8 min, tossing halfway through, until tender-crisp. Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.

Make Salsa & Air-Fry Shrimp
5

Meanwhile, to the bowl with pineapple and tomatoes, add diced onions, half the garlic, half the cilantro and 2 tsp oil (double for 4 portions). Season with salt, then stir to combine. When veggies are done, coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange shrimp in the basket in a single layer. Air-fry for 5-7 min, until shrimp just turn pink.

Make Aioli & Serve
6

To a small bowl, add mayo, remaining garlic (refer to Chef's Hack for garlic guide) and 2 tsp water (double for 4 portions). Season with salt, then stir to combine. Season rice with salt. Add remaining cilantro, then fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice between bowls. Top with veggies and shrimp. Spoon salsa over top. Drizzle with aioli. Enjoy!
