FAQs
Can I make Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp RecipeMain ahead of time?
Yes – the glaze can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Keep shrimp separate and combine just before serving.
What’s the best substitute for pineapple?
Fresh mango or canned pineapple in juice (drained) work well, adding a similar sweet‑tart profile.
How do I store leftovers?
Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Why did my shrimp turn out dry?
Overcooking is the common culprit; shrimp only need 2‑3 minutes per side. Also ensure they are dry before cooking.
