Pineapple Shrimp Bowl

This Pineapple Shrimp Bowl was adapted from some of the recipes in Cooking light - it was a little of this and a little of that. Cooking Light has an easy weeknight dinner section and I've been trying some of their "Bowls" lately using  whole grains on the bottom, some veggies, and one of their sauces.

This was so easy that I used a griddle pan to sauté the veggies, pineapple, and shrimp. I cooked the rice earlier, so the dinner-time assembly was fast. A little sauce and some spiced almonds and we're ready to feast!
