Easy Shrimp Stir-Fry with Green Pepper, Pineapple & Bacon Recipe image

This sweet, spicy and super-easy shrimp-and-vegetable stir-fry starts with a very small amount of bacon in the wok, which creates drippings that add tons of smoky flavor to the vegetables and shrimp that go in next. Keep the salt in check by using reduced-sodium tamari sauce. To complete this easy healthy dinner, add cooked brown rice.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine (see Tip) or dry sherry
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
12 ounces peeled and deveined raw shrimp (21-25 count)
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1½ cups chopped fresh pineapple (1-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Combine chili sauce, rice wine (or sherry), tamari, water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set next to the stove. Cook bacon in a large flat-bottom wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate. Add bell pepper to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add shrimp, scallions, ginger and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir the reserved sauce and add to the pan along with pineapple and the bacon. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute more.
