Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound peeled, deveined large shrimp
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into thin slices (1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
1 cup peeled, chopped fresh pineapple
3 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces (1 cup)
2/3 cup apricot jam or orange marmalade
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, plus more for serving

  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and bell pepper to skillet; cook, stirring, until pepper has softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, pineapple, and scallions; cook 1 minute.

This dish was absolutely disgusting. The sauce was like something out of a can and the shrimp were freezer burned. I would not recommend this recipe to my worst enemy.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I would recommend thinning out the sauce next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce next time.
