ingredients
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained, and patted dry
- 1 lb frozen large shrimp, thawed peeled and cleaned
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1⁄4 cup canned diced mild green chili
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 3 cups hot cooked rice (optional)
directions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half the oil and heat until smoking, about 10 seconds. Add the onion and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the pineapple and stir fry gently until pineapple browns lightly, about 1 minute. Remove pineapple to a bowl and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the pan. Add shrimp and stir-fry until opaque, about 1 minute. Add garlic and red pepper, if desired, and stir fry for 10 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes, chilies, and reserved pineapple and stir fry until heated through, about.
- 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce and serve over rice, if desired.
- Tip: We’ve kept the spiciness light (the canned chilies are mild) and the pinch of crushed pepper flakes is optional. If you want to add a little more heat, increase the pepper. Or for a completely family friendly version, eliminate the red pepper flakes, and your stir-fry will be as mild as a tropical breeze.
