Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar or 2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons arrowroot
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons flour (just enough to very lightly coat the shrimp)
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 medium red pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 medium green pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pineapple chunk

Steps:

  • Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Coat the shrimp very lightly with flour and shake off excess.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large wok, set over medium-high heat. Saute the shrimp in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the shrimp from the wok. Add the remaining oil and the peppers and onions and stir-fry for about 5 minutes. Add the pineapple chunks and sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp, warm and serve.
