How to Tell if Shrimp is Done?

Shrimp should be 145° internal temperature with a digital thermometer when cooked through. Shrimp will curl and turn pink. 

Try not to overcook shrimp as it will become tough and rubbery.

Plate of shrimp fettuccine alfredo

Serve shrimp over Fettuccine Alfredo for a decadent meal or over rice pilaf. Great sides for pineapple shrimp are grilled zucchini, grilled corn on the cob and garlic bread.

My kids also go crazy for this honey garlic shrimp that is ready in under 30 minutes and can be a main dish or appetizer.

Stovetop Directions:

Use a non-stick skillet. Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of olive oil to skillet and cook shrimp over medium heat, stirring often for about 5 minutes. Add bbq sauce and continue to cook until shrimp is pink and curled. 

How to Store and Reheat:

Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days.

Reheat in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of pineapple bbq sauce and 1 tablespoon of water per cup of shrimp. Cook over low heat, stirring often until heated through.
