How to Make Pineapple Tofu Shrimp Saute

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 8 oz shrimp (peeled and deveined), and 8 oz firm or extra-firm tofu (pressed and cubed).
  3. Sauté until shrimp turn pink and opaque and tofu is lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Push the shrimp and tofu to one side of the skillet. Add 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained) to the empty space and warm for about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the pineapple is coated in the sauce. Cook for another minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
