Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
-
Add the cumin, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pineapple is lightly caramelized.
