Tropical Rice

This rice has such sweet and comforting aroma. Coconut, pineapple...you'll love it. I was looking for a rice dish to go with my Bahama Shrimp Skewers and this is what I found on the net. To add an extra layer of flavor you could substitute some of the chicken broth with lime juice or orange juice and to make it spicy add a minced scotch bonnet pepper.
