Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Мethod of preparation
1.Prepare Ingredients
Start by prepping all your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp if they aren't already prepared. Dice the red bell pepper, slice the red onion thinly, and cut the fresh pineapple into chunks.
2.Marinate Shrimp
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and chili flakes. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let this marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3.Sauté Vegetables
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the onion becomes translucent.
4.Cook Shrimp and Pineapple
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side and place the marinated shrimp in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Add the pineapple chunks and toss everything together.
5.Season and Serve
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
