  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Add 1 pound shrimp to the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).

  6. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  7. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet.
  8. Drain the shrimp, discarding the marinade.

  10. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  11. Add 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon soy sauce to the skillet.
  12. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  13. Return shrimp and vegetables to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained).

  15. Serve immediately over steamed rice or Asian noodles. Garnish with chopped scallions.
