- 1 ½ lb Shrimp shells removed
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil divided
- 1 cup snap peas cut in half

Pineapple Stir Fry Sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup pineapple juice can sub orange juice
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce gluten-free, if needed
- ¼ cup soy sauce gluten-free, if needed
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Optional: 1 teaspoon sriracha (more, to taste)
Instructions
- If you're serving this with rice, start that first.
- Whisk the cornstarch, onion powder, and garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Note: the batter will turn sticky.
- Next, make the stir fry sauce. Add the cornstarch to a measuring cup. Add a little of the pineapple juice and mix it into the cornstarch. Now add the rest of the juice and the remaining sauce ingredients.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and spread them out in the pan so that they are in a single layer. Cook them for 2 minutes on each side then remove them from the pan.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the snap peas, red pepper, and pineapple and cook the veggies for 2-3 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.
- Return the shrimp to the pan, give the sauce a stir then pour it over the shrimp and veggies, then mix everything together. Let the sauce cook for 1 minute to thicken it then serve the stir fry with sesame seeds sprinkled on the top.
