- 2 Tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
- 2 lbs shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
Paleo Sweet & Sour Sauce:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tsp tapioca flour
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened ketchup
- 1 Tbsp coconut aminos or liquid aminos
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp sriracha or more to taste
Add all of the ingredients for the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the coconut oil. Add the bell pepper and saute, stirring occasionally until bell pepper begins to turn golden-brown, about 3 minutes.
Place the raw shrimp in a single layer on the skillet (this may need to be done in batches depending on the size of your skillet). Cook until shrimp turns pink on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until shrimp is cooked through, about another 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the sauce in the skillet and stir. Allow mixture to come to a full boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and shrimp is well-glazed.
Serve sweet and sour shrimp with choice of side dishes and enjoy!
