Skewer the shrimp and pineapple, set aside.
In a sauce pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the red bell peppers. Stir in the garlic, green onions and remaining pineapple. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, to bring out flavor.
Add the rice and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Season with a pinch of salt & pepper.
