SWEET AND SOUR SHRIMP

Sweet and Sour Shrimp image

It was the night before the night before Christmas and I wanted something rather light in anticipation of the Great Grazing Feast to come. Plus I had all of the ingredients! I like using small shrimp b/c they are perfect bite size, but use whatever size you like.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp grapeseed oil, coconut oil or your choice
1 medium green or red pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 medium sweet onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 - 3/4 c pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
1/2 c pea pods (frozen or fresh)
1 clove garlic, chopped or grated
8 oz small shrimp, shelled (i used pre-cooked)
SAUCE
3 Tbsp ketchup
3 Tbsp pineapple juice
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp honey
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp ginger paste
1/4 tsp lemon grass paste
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 c water
TO SERVE
rice - white, brown or cauliflower
green onion, chopped
cilantro, chopped
NOTE
if you use uncooked shrimp, you will want to add them earlier in the process so they have a chance to turn pink.
also adjust amount of seasonings in sauce to your taste.

Steps:

1. Combine sauce ingredients and set aside.
2. Heat oil in wok or large pan on medium heat. Add onion and green pepper chunks. Stir fry for a few minutes. Add pea pods and pineapple. Stir fry for a few more minutes. Add garlic and shrimp and continue cooking for a few more minutes. Don't let the garlic burn or the shrimp curl up too much!
3. Pour sauce into wok. Stir together until sauce thickens. Serve over rice and garnish with chopped green onion and chopped cilantro.
