Ingredients:
- 1 (8-ounce) can of pineapple chunks in juice
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (Optional)
- ¼ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons chopped cashews, or to taste (Optional)
Instructions:
- Measure out 1/4 cup pineapple juice from the can and add to a small mixing bowl. Set pineapple chunks aside and reserve any extra juice for another use or discard.
- Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and pepper flakes to the pineapple juice; stir until well combined. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl and leave the rest in the mixing bowl.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add avocado oil to the hot wok and heat until it shimmers about 30 seconds. Add red onion and bell peppers; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli; cook and stir for 1 minute.
- Add the sauce from the mixing bowl and bring to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and begin to curl, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir cornstarch into the sauce in the small bowl, mixing until there are no lumps. Slowly add to the skillet, stirring constantly. Add reserved pineapple chunks.
- Cook until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle cashews over top. Serve immediately.
