How to Make Sweet And Sour Shrimp With Pineapple
- **Make the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until completely smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste). Whisk until well combined.
- Set aside.
- **Cook the Shrimp:** Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 pound shrimp and stir-fry until opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
- **Sauté Vegetables:** Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add 1/2 red bell pepper (finely chopped) and stir until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add 2 scallions (thinly sliced) and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
- **Add Pineapple:** Add 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained) and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- **Combine:** Stir in the cooked shrimp and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Stir-fry for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- **Thicken the Sauce:** Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
