Preparation

Cooking

  2. Using the same skillet, toss in the diced bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Assembly
  1. Place a ring mold on a plate. Begin layering by adding the cooked jasmine rice, followed by pineapple chunks, sautéed bell pepper, and finally the succulent shrimp. Press down gently to create firm layers before carefully removing the ring mold.
Finishing Touch
  1. Garnish each stack with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
