Directions
Prepare the Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce
-
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup BBQ sauce, 2 TBSP soy sauce, 2 TBSP pineapple juice, 1 TBSP honey or brown sugar, 1 TBSP rice vinegar, 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp ground ginger, ¼–½ tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp cornstarch.
-
Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, then set aside.
Season and Cook the Shrimp
-
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
-
Season with ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp garlic powder.
-
Heat 1 TBSP oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, just until pink and opaque.
-
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
-
Add 2 TBSP butter to the same skillet.
-
Add the red bell peppers and sugar snap peas.
-
Stir-fry for about 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the Pineapple
-
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet.
-
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is heated through and beginning to lightly caramelize around the edges.
Finish the Stir Fry
-
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
-
Whisk the prepared BBQ sauce once more, then pour it over the shrimp, pineapple, and vegetables.
-
Toss everything together and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling, glossy, and thick enough to coat everything.
-
Remove from the heat as soon as the sauce has thickened to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
-
Taste and add additional salt or red pepper flakes if desired.
