Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 lb Shrimp Use wild-caught for best flavor; frozen shrimp is a good alternative if properly thawed.
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce Signature sweet and spicy flavor; substitute with equal parts honey and sriracha if unavailable.
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce Consider using lower-sodium options for a healthier alternative.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Enhances aroma and flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Grated Ginger Fresh is ideal; powdered ginger can be used.
For the Pineapple
  • 2 cups Pineapple Fresh offers natural sweetness; canned works if drained properly.
For Cooking
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Any neutral oil will work as a substitute.
For Garnishing
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Optional; adds brightness.
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice Optional; can substitute with lemon juice.
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes Optional; adjust to taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir the mixture well until the shrimp are fully coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp marinates, prepare the pineapple by cutting fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks or draining canned pineapple thoroughly.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  4. Gently stir in the prepared pineapple chunks and cook together for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized.
  5. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with optional cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately.
