FAQs
Can I make Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp RecipeMain ahead of time?
Yes – cook the shrimp and sauce separately, then combine just before serving to keep the shrimp tender.
What’s the best substitute for pineapple?
Fresh mango or peach works well for a sweet, juicy bite.
How do I store leftovers?
Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze the sauce for longer storage.
Why did my shrimp turn out dry?
Overcooking is the usual culprit. Cook shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2‑3 minutes per side.
