Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp

I guess when you use three fruits in a recipe you shouldn't be surprised when it tastes really fruity! If you're a fan of craisins, pineapple and lemon, I think you'll like this fruity-peppery shrimp.

½ of a 20oz. can of pineapple chunks

½c craisins

1 lemon – juice and zest

1 med. Vidalia onion – chopped

10oz frozen, thawed shrimp

Chop up the pineapple, in a small glass bowl, add craisins, lemon juice, zest some of the pineapple juice, onion and mix together with some good quality fresh ground black pepper and about a tablespoon of Sweet Chili Sauce (I get this at Asian markets). Let stand an hour or so to rehydrate the craisins. If you don't have a lot of time, you can also heat this mixture, in a medium size non-stick pan, just until it bubbles. The heat will speed up the hydration process. Simmer this mixture until the onion is translucent. Add shrimp and cook a few more minutes. Serve over rice or pasta. . .Lin
