FAQs
Can I make Sweet Chili Pineapple Shrimp RecipeMain ahead of time?
Yes – prepare the sauce and chop the pineapple a day ahead. Store shrimp separately and combine just before serving.
What’s the best substitute for shrimp?
Scallops or firm white fish like cod work well; adjust cooking time to avoid over‑cooking.
How do I store leftovers?
Cool the dish, then place in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within 3 days for best texture.
Why did my sauce turn out watery?
Over‑cooking the pineapple releases excess juice. Let the sauce reduce for a minute or two after adding shrimp.
