Description

A tropical-inspired dish combining succulent shrimp with caramelized pineapple in a sweet and spicy glaze that’s ready in just 35 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Wild-Caught Shrimp (Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined)
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce (Or blend honey with sriracha)
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Can substitute with tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic (Opt for fresh garlic)
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger (Fresh ginger preferred; powdered works in a pinch)
  • 1 cup Pineapple (Fresh or well-drained canned chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Use any neutral oil if olive oil is unavailable)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (Squeeze right before serving (optional))
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (Adjust according to spice preference (optional))

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the shrimp is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the pineapple by cutting fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks or draining canned pineapple thoroughly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the marinated shrimp and saute for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  4. Add prepared pineapple to the skillet and stir gently, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pineapple edges begin to caramelize.
  5. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Squeeze lime juice over the top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
