Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh raw shrimp (or thawed if frozen)
- 8 oz fresh pineapple
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 TBSP oil or butter (plus extra as needed)
- ¼ ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- ⅓ cup barbecue sauce (I used a spicy one - yum!)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 TBSP green onion (optional)
Instructions
- Clean and peel shrimp, defrosting if needed. Lately we've been buying frozen, deveined, easy-peel shrimp. All I have to do is defrost, peel, and cook! You can also buy your shrimp already peeled if you'd like!
- Pat shrimp dry and season with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high heat with 1 TBSP of butter or oil and sauté your shrimp. Cook on each side for a minute until shrimp curl and become opaque. The cook time will depend on the heat setting you choose and the size of your shrimp, but regardless they’ll be perfectly cooked in a matter of minutes.
- Transfer shrimp to a plate and add a little oil to your pan. Add peppers and cook until tender, adding the pineapple towards the end.
- Next add your barbecue sauce (I chose a spicy one - YUM!) and stir it up. Once it's hot and bubbly in the pan, add your shrimp back in and mix it all together. Give shrimp an additional minute to warm back up with the sauce and get ready to dive in!
Notes
- SERVE OVER... rice, fried rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa!
- I love using spicy bbq sauce for this recipe. You could also use your favorite sweet bbq sauce and add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or extra, to taste.
