Description

Imagine plump, juicy shrimp, kissed by the heat of a pan and then embraced by a luscious, sweet, and tangy pineapple sauce. This dish is a delightful dance of flavors, where the inherent sweetness of pineapple meets the savory depths of the sea. Hints of jalapeño and garlic peek through, adding intrigue and balance to every bite.

Each shrimp is a burst of flavor, tender and succulent, coated in a glaze that is both comforting and exciting. The sauce is carefully crafted to be thick and rich, clinging beautifully to the shrimp and ensuring that every morsel is infused with its tropical essence. The gentle warmth of jalapeño provides a subtle counterpoint to the sweetness, preventing it from becoming cloying, while the garlic adds a grounding savory note.

This pineapple shrimp is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. It is perfect as a light and flavorful lunch, a satisfying dinner, or even a unique appetizer to impress your guests. Prepare it in advance for convenient meal prepping, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen over time.

Simply reheat and serve when you're ready to enjoy a taste of the tropics. Consider serving this vibrant dish with a side of steamed green beans or roasted asparagus for a light and healthy meal. For a more substantial offering, pair it with cauliflower rice or a refreshing cucumber salad.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to customize your meal to your liking. The bright, fresh flavors of this shrimp dish also complement a variety of salads, especially those with citrusy vinaigrettes or herbal notes. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, making this a convenient option for busy weeknights.

Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a flavorful dish to share with friends and family, this pineapple shrimp is sure to become a favorite. The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy notes creates a truly unforgettable culinary experience that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.

Instructions

    1.
    Make the pineapple sauce first so it has time to thicken throughout the recipe. In a pot, add chicken broth, minced garlic, minced jalapeno, and minced pineapple. Heat the ingredients over medium heat on the stove until the broth comes to a simmer. Remove a portion of hot broth, and whisk cornstarch into the liquid until the cornstarch dissolves and the liquid thickens. Return the thickened liquid to the pot and stir to combine.
    2.
    Let the sauce bubble until it thickens enough to leave a glossy coat on the back of a spoon. It will still be somewhat loose. Set the pot of sauce aside to cool and thicken further. Now, peel and devein your shrimp, and add them to a small mixing bowl. Season the shrimp with seasoned salt, pepper, and olive oil, and toss the shrimp until they\'re coated in spices and oil. Place a pan on your stove and heat over medium-high heat.
    3.
    When the pan is hot, place the shrimp in. Allow them to cook for just 60-90 seconds before flipping them over. Let the shrimp cook for another 60 seconds, then pour the thickened pineapple sauce into the pan. Carefully toss the shrimp with the sauce as they finish cooking for another 60 seconds or so. You can let the pineapple shrimp cool in the pan for just a minute or two before enjoying it.
