Most of us have ordered sweet and sour shrimp at Chinese restaurants. The shrimp is battered, deep fried, and drowned in a bright colored sweet and sour sauce. This recipe is a much lighter version of that with homemade sauce, sautéed shrimp, and crisp vegetables.

Ingredients:

Sauce:

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from canned pineapple)

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger root

1 teaspoon Sriracha

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Stir Fry:

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 small onion, diced into ½ inch pieces

1 red bell pepper, cut into ½ inch pieces

1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp, 51/60 count, thawed if frozen

1 cup chopped pineapple (we recommend buying an 8 oz. can pineapple tidbits in 100% juice)

8 large leaves bibb lettuce (you may need more)

⅓ cup chopped cashews

2 green onions, thinly sliced
