Pineapple Shrimp Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
• Pineapple (1 cup, diced (fresh or canned))
• Bell peppers (1 cup, sliced (any color))
• Onion (1 medium, sliced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Water (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Green onions (for garnish, sliced)
• Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.
4. Add the diced pineapple to the skillet and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the pineapple to caramelize slightly.
5. Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and pineapple in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
6. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
7. Serve the pineapple shrimp stir fry over a bed of cooked rice.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
