I was looking for a quick lunch to make my husband that didn’t include lunch meat and bread!
My Spicy Pineapple Shrimp Stir Fry is the perfect quick lunch idea.
It’s super spicy and it includes shrimp which are two of Big Goo favorite things.
I created this spicy sauce which is crushed pineapple, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and don’t forget the spicy sambal and sriracha sauce!
I also added fresh grated ginger to really add to the heat level in this dish.
I figured the more heat the less likely Big Goo was going to notice all the extra veggies I added to this dish!
Next, for the veggies I went with carrots, broccoli, snap peas and onions.
The key to this dish is to not over cook the vegetables.
I like my vegetables to have a nice crunch and that requires quick, fast, cooking!
After you saute the veggies for a few minutes, remove them and add the shrimp.
Saute the shrimp for about 5 minutes, then add the sauce and veggies back to the pan.
Lastly, I allowed the stir fry to cook a few more minutes.
Make sure the sauce is mixed well with the shrimp and veggies.
I served this over hot rice and in less than 2o minutes lunch was served!
Enjoy.

Sounds and looks very good. going to give it a try
Thank you Ruth!
This was so good! The flavors were spot on. I will say next time, just for my personal preferences, I’m going to cut back on the spicy stuff so I can eat it better. However, my husband was in love with this!
I’m glad you enjoyed it Desiree! My husband loves it super spicy.
Thank you Jeffrey, that’s really kind of you!
