Tips:

- 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.
