FAQs
Can I make Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp RecipeMain ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the glaze and chop the pineapple up to 24 hours ahead. Cook the shrimp fresh for best texture.
What’s the best substitute for shrimp?
Chunky white fish like cod or firm tofu works well for a vegetarian version.
How do I store leftovers?
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate in an airtight container. Best eaten within 2 days.
Why did my shrimp turn out dry?
Overcooking is the most common cause. Shrimp only need 2‑3 minutes per side; they turn opaque and pink when done.
