- In a sauté pan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat and add mushrooms, onion and 3/4 of the garlic; sauté for 3 minutes. Add shrimp and chili sauce. Cook and stir until shrimp is pink. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the mint, plus the basil and ginger.
- Add shrimp mixture to the pineapple. Squeeze remaining two limes over mixture; stir and set aside.
- To make the sauce, sauté remaining 1/4 cup mint and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add coconut milk, chicken broth and cayenne pepper.
- Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice and add to sauce, stirring constantly over medium heat, until thickened.
- While sauce is thickening, heat peas in microwave for 3 minutes.
- Combine sauce with shrimp and pineapple mixture and peas.
- Serve 3/4 cup shrimp-pineapple mixture over 2/3 cup jasmine rice. Sprinkle with paprika.
Helpful hints
- For a lower protein meal decrease shrimp to 1 pound; increase to 2 pounds for higher protein.
- Sriracha sauce is a hot chili sauce from Thailand. Add extra at the table if you like the dish spicy hot. Dried, crushed red chili peppers may be substitiued for Sriracha sauce.
- Cayenne pepper can be substituted for paprika if you like more heat.
