Sheet Pan Pineapple Shrimp Ingredients

  • easy-peel shrimp
  • pineapple slices
  • red bell pepper
  • red onion
  • jalapeno pepper
  • fresh cilantro
  • lime
  • jerk seasoning
  • olive oil

*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!

    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?
