Easy Firecracker Shrimp Pineapple

Are you looking for a restaurant-quality seafood recipe to make during this quarantine? This might not be the best season to go to tropical beaches and enjoy great seafood dishes, but you can still make quality recipes in the comfort of your own home! Grab your apron and I hope you’re ready for some easy firecracker pineapple shrimp!
If you’re not a fan of seafood, you can swap out the shrimp for chicken, lean cut of beef, and even firm tofu or tempeh. This hearty meal will definitely fill you up and satisfy your seafood cravings!

Start by preparing the ingredients for the sauce. Mix ginger, pineapple juice, minced garlic, sriracha, low sodium soy sauce, and arrowroot starch. You can use any type of starch you’d prefer. Then, toss your shrimp in the arrowroot, and set aside until ready to cook.

Set a nonstick skillet on high heat and spray a little bit of olive oil. Throw in your pineapple chunks and sear until brown and caramelized. Remove and place the pineapple chunks in a bowl and set aside.

Set the same nonstick skillet on medium-high and add in avocado oil. Then, throw in your shrimp and cook it until it turns brown and crispy. Toss in your sliced bell pepper and cook for another minute. Turn down the heat to low and continue cooking it for one minute. Pour in your homemade sauce and stir it immediately together with the shrimp so the sauce doesn’t clump together. You can add in water or pineapple juice if your sauce is too slimy and thick.

Once the shrimp and bell pepper are coated well with the sauce, throw in your seared pineapple chunks and fold it in. You can add in chopped green onion, lime, and sesame seeds to add a little decoration to your dish.
Tada! You just made a hearty seafood meal right in the comfort of your own home!
