Instructions
1
Wash and clean shrimp, making sure they are all properly deveined and no shell on any of them, pat dry and season with 1 tsp black pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp creole seasoning and ½ tsp old bay seasoning. Heat olive oil in skillet and brown shrimp for about 3 minutes on each side in the meantime in a bowl, combine all the liquid ingredients, includes the sugar and remaining dry spice as well as the corn starch mix well and combine. When shrimp is done set aside, add butter and melt, add diced pineapple, and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly. (This will not only soften the pineapple but also give it a nice golden colour on the corners). After 4 minutes of cooking pineapple remove from pan, add garlic, minced ginger and onions, sauté for about 4 minutes. Add the liquid mixture and stir to combine, bring to a low simmer, let cook for about6 minutes, stirring constantly, add pineapple and shrimp in and stir to combine well
