# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer, then mix the cornstarch with cold water and stir into the sauce. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil.
02 -
Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. If desired, add red pepper flakes for heat. Brush or toss shrimp with prepared teriyaki sauce.
03 -
In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed jasmine rice, water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in pineapple, green onions, cilantro, red bell pepper, lime juice, and soy sauce.
04 -
Use ring molds or cleaned empty cans to layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of pineapple rice, followed by a layer of teriyaki shrimp, and top with avocado slices. Gently press down each layer to create a compact stack. Carefully remove the ring mold.
05 -
Top each stack with sesame seeds, extra green onions, and additional pineapple chunks. Serve with lime wedges and a drizzle of Sriracha or chili sauce, if desired.
