How to Make Sweet And Sour Shrimp

  1. Drain one cup of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Set pineapple aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, cornstarch, chili sauce, and soy sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
  4. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through.
  6. Pour the prepared sweet and sour sauce into the skillet. Stir to combine.
  7. Add the drained pineapple chunks and stir until the sauce has thickened and become bubbly (about 1 minute).
  8. Serve the sweet and sour shrimp immediately over a bed of cooked rice.
