FAQs
Can I make Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp RecipeMain ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare the sauce and chop the veggies ahead; store them separately and assemble just before cooking.
What’s the best substitute for shrimp?
Use firm white fish like cod or tilapia, or for a plant‑based option, try extra‑firm tofu cubed and pressed.
How do I store leftovers?
Place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to keep the shrimp tender.
Why did my shrimp turn out rubbery?
Overcooking is the culprit. Shrimp cooks in 4‑5 minutes total; remove as soon as they turn pink and opaque.
