How to Make Sweet Sour Shrimp Stir Fry

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Drain pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice. Add the reserved juice to the ketchup mixture and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. Trim and halve the sugar snap peas.
  4. Halve the cherry or grape tomatoes.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  6. Add sugar snap peas and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Pour the sweet and sour sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil.
  8. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Add the drained pineapple chunks and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat and cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and gently stir in the halved tomatoes.
  11. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
