There’s nothing better than enjoying a restaurant quality meal in the comfort of your own home! Serve this sweet and sour shrimp with veggie fried rice and a side of homemade egg rolls for a dinner that’s sure to get rave reviews.
I don’t know about you, but this summer I’ve been even more into making quick and easy dinners than ever before. The weather has been just beautiful here in California, and who wants to spend a ton of time in the kitchen when you could be outside enjoying summer fun? My new favorite way to get dinner on a table in a flash is this sweet and sour shrimp. It tastes like something you’d get at a restaurant, but is easy enough to make at home any day of the week.
I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate seafood into my family’s diet, as the USDA recommends at least two 4-ounce servings of seafood a week. My picky eaters happen to love SeaPak Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, which is what I often turn to when we’re trying to meet our seafood goal! I combine these plump and crispy shrimp with summery ingredients like pineapple and bell peppers for a meal that’s perfect to enjoy outside on a bright sunny day.
How do you make sweet and sour shrimp?
There are two steps to this sweet and sour shrimp. The first step is to prepare the shrimp and vegetables. The shrimp and peppers cook together on a sheet pan in the oven. While the shrimp are cooking, I make an easy homemade sweet and sour sauce. After the shrimp and peppers come out of the oven, they get tossed with fresh pineapple chunks and the sauce. I also like to put up a pot of rice to boil at the same time as I put the shrimp in the oven. Serve the sweet and sour shrimp over the rice and enjoy!
We often eat outdoors in the summer time, and one thing I do to make it enjoyable for all is to set up a buffet outside with plates, silverware, napkins, pitchers of drinks and our meal. That way people aren’t running in and out of the house constantly to get more food or refill their drinks. It’s definitely a more relaxing way to eat!
