Thai Sweet and Sour Shrimp

Ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cucumber, deseeded and cut into 2 inch chunks
• 1 red pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 white onion, cut into strips
• 2 green onions, cut into 2 in long pieces
• 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 2 inch wide pieces
• 1 tomato, cut into chunks
• 1 lb fresh raw, peeled, deveined, tail-off shrimp of choice (we like jumbo)
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp corn starch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Steps

1. 1

   Warm a wok or large frying pan of choice over medium high heat.

2. 2

   Add a few tablespoons of cooking oil of choice. Stir-fry garlic until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the rest of the veggies, and stir-fry until crisp tender, just a few minutes.

4. 4

   Mix all the sweet and sour sauce ingredients together, and add to the pan. Add in the corn starch mixture, and mix until thickened, just a minute or so.

5. 5

   Add in the shrimp, and stir-fry until pink. It should only take a minute or two. Watch out that you don’t overcook because it goes from plump and perfectly cooked to shrunken and chewy overcooked super fast!

6. 6
