Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it and not overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
Use a large skillet or wok. This will help to ensure that the shrimp and pineapple cook evenly.
Add the pineapple chunks towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
Serve immediately. Shrimp with pineapple chunks is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still hot and juicy.
