Ingredients 

  • 380 grams shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon potato starch
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 7 grams garlic 1 large clove roughly chopped
  • 200 grams pineapple cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 35 grams scallion roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Marinate 380 grams shrimp with 1 tablespoon potato starch, 2 teaspoons fish sauce , ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1¼ teaspoon ground white pepper.
  • To cut the 200 grams pineapple, trim off both ends and slice it into quarters lengthwise. Then, remove the core from the center of one-quarter of the pineapple and cut the quarter in half lengthwise. Slice the skin from the pineapple and cut each segment into bite-sized pieces (I used an oblique cut).
  • Heat a frying pan over high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 7 grams garlic and swirl it around the pan.
  • Add the shrimp and quickly spread it into a single layer, allowing it to cook through on one side.
  • Toss the shrimp in the pan to flip them over. If you missed any, flip the remaining ones by hand.
  • When the shrimp is almost (but not fully) cooked, add 200 grams pineapple, and then stir-fry the mixture until the shrimp is fully cooked and the pineapple is just starting to brown around the edges (another minute or so).
  • Add 35 grams scallion and toss to distribute and serve the pineapple shrimp immediately.
