*Shrimp Tip: I like to cook with shell-on shrimp because the shells bring rich flavor to any dish. Easy-peel shrimp are the perfect shell-on option because they have already been deveined and require zero prep. However, peeled shrimp work for this recipe too!
How to Make Easy Pineapple Shrimp
Slice the veggies. Thinly slice the red onion, bell pepper, and jalapenos. Cut pineapple slices into thirds. Chop cilantro.
Toss in a bowl. In a large bowl, toss shrimp, pineapple, onion, bell pepper and jalapeno with olive oil, jerk seasoning and pineapple juice.
Spread in a pan. Spread it all in a single layer on a lined sheet pan and bake until the shrimp are pink- only 15 minutes! Top with chopped cilantro and squeeze lime halves over your pineapple shrimp before serving.

Confused about the amount of jerk seasoning to use. Recipe shows 1 Tablespoon + 3 teaspoons. 3 teaspoons equal 1Tablespoon so are you meaning 2 Tablespoons of Jerk seasoning or 1 Tablespoon plus some other amount of teaspoons?
