Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 Tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
2 Tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
2 Tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 oz thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
12 oz peeled and deveined raw shrimp (21-25 count)
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 Tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple (1-inch pieces)

Steps:

Combine chili sauce, rice wine (or sherry), tamari, water, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set next to the stove. Cook bacon in a large flat-bottom wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate. Add bell pepper to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add shrimp, scallions, ginger, and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir the reserved sauce and add to the pan along with pineapple and the bacon. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute more.
