Sweet and Sour Shrimp image

It was the night before the night before Christmas and I wanted something rather light in anticipation of the Great Grazing Feast to come. Plus I had all of the ingredients! I like using small shrimp b/c they are perfect bite size, but use whatever size you like.

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 Tbsp grapeseed oil, coconut oil or your choice
1 medium green or red pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 - 3/4 c pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
1/2 c pea pods (frozen or fresh)
1 clove garlic, chopped or grated
8 oz small shrimp, shelled (i used pre-cooked)
SAUCE
3 Tbsp ketchup
3 Tbsp pineapple juice
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp honey
1 Tbsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp ginger paste
1/4 tsp lemon grass paste
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 c water
TO SERVE
rice - white, brown or cauliflower
green onion, chopped
cilantro, chopped
NOTE
if you use uncooked shrimp, you will want to add them earlier in the process so they have a chance to turn pink.
also adjust amount of seasonings in sauce to your taste.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • 2. Heat oil in wok or large pan on medium heat. Add onion and green pepper chunks. Stir fry for a few minutes. Add pea pods and pineapple. Stir fry for a few more minutes. Add garlic and shrimp and continue cooking for a few more minutes. Don't let the garlic burn or the shrimp curl up too much!
  • 3. Pour sauce into wok. Stir together until sauce thickens. Serve over rice and garnish with chopped green onion and chopped cilantro.
