Steps:
- To make the sauce, in a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of stock, the ketchup, sugar, juice, vinegar, soy, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons of stock and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the ginger, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes. Set aside for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the oil, swirling to coat the sides and bottom of the pan. Add the shrimp, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the onions and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Return the shrimp to the pan and add the pineapples, cherries, and green onions. Cook until the sauce is thick, about 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat and serve over rice.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh shrimp that are peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make the shrimp extra crispy, double-coat them in the cornstarch mixture.
- Be sure to fry the shrimp in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the shrimp will not cook evenly.
- The sweet and sour sauce is best made ahead of time so that the flavors have a chance to meld. If you are short on time, you can use a store-bought sauce.
- Serve the Chinese-style crispy shrimp with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
