FAQs
Can I make Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp RecipeMain ahead of time?
Yes. Cook the shrimp and sauce, then store in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stove and add fresh pineapple just before serving.
What’s the best substitute for fresh pineapple?
Canned pineapple chunks (in juice, not syrup) work fine—drain them well.
How do I store leftovers?
Place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month.
Why did my shrimp turn out dry?
Overcooking is the culprit. Shrimp cooks quickly; remove from heat as soon as it turns pink and opaque.
