Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 Tbsp peanut oil
1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail on
1 Tbsp fresh, grated ginger
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 medium onion, cut into 4 wedges
2 oz canned pineapple, blended with 7 ounces pineapple juice
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 handful of snow peas
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 Tbsp honey, or to taste
1 lime, juiced, or to taste
1 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a heavy, non-stick skillet or wok over high heat, add 2 tablespoons peanut oil.
  • 2. Stir-fry the shrimp until they turn pink, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • 3. Heat the remaining oil; add the ginger, onions and red pepper flakes; stir-fry until the onions are tender-crisp, another 2 or 3 minutes.
  • 4. Add the pineapple puree and let the sauce reduce for 1 minute.
  • 5. Add the bell pepper pieces and snow peas. Stir gently. Season with salt, black pepper, lime juice, and honey to taste.
  • 6. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes.
  • 7. Return the shrimp to the pan, stir well, and sprinkle with the finely sliced spring onion.
  • 8. Serve immediately with your favorite rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Use a wok: A wok is the best pan for stir-frying because it allows for even heat distribution and quick cooking.
  • Heat the wok properly: The wok should be very hot before adding the oil and shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the shrimp quickly: Stir-fry the shrimp for only 2-3 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Add the sauce: Add the sauce to the wok and stir-fry until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately: Sweet and sour shrimp is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour shrimp is a classic Chinese dish that is easy to make at home. It is a flavorful and colorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and authentic sweet and sour shrimp dish that the whole family will enjoy.
