Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wild-caught shrimp with the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the pineapple by peeling and coring it if fresh, or drain excess juice if canned. Set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, then add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  4. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet with the shrimp and stir gently, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Serve the Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp garnished with fresh cilantro or lime juice, paired with jasmine rice or quinoa.
