Tropical Passion Sweet Sour Shrimp


This is perfect for a dinner party or for a romantic meal. I saw bob bowersox demonstrate his unique version of sweet & sour shrimp on qvc and thought it looked so delicious. I copied down the recipe, altered it to suit my tastes, and here is my version. Please - only use fresh cut fruit in this - not canned or it will not taste the same. This is nothing like chinese style sweet and sour shrimp, but rather hawaiian inspired. It has a fresh fruity taste, with a sour tang from the vinegar. I have only made this with shrimp so far, but i see no reason why you could not subsitute chunks of chicken or pork in this, and just stir fry it first until cooked through.

Steps


Preparation: make sure your rice is already cooking.
Prep all of your fruits , juices , and seasonings before you begin and have them handy near the stove as this will cook quickly.
Whisk together the vinegar with the cornstarch until smooth and set near stove- leave whisk nearby so you can quickly rewhisk if it settles before adding.
Also , make sure your shrimp is peeled , & deveined and ready to go by the stove cooking: heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat- you only need enough oil to keep your ingredients from sticking.
Add shrimp and stir fry until shrimp turns pink and is opaque- no more than 5 minutes from raw , or just 1 minute for precooked shrimp.
Remove from pan using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add orange juice , lime juice , sugar , pineapple , papaya , and mango to the pan and stir to coat.
Quickly rewhisk the cornstarch mixture and add to the pan- stirring constantly.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 1 minute , until sauce thickens slightly , st.
