How to make Pineapple shrimp noodle bowls

1. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions.

2. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp and pineapple together; season with salt.

3. Add the soy sauce and ginger to the bowl and toss again to coat.

4. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

5. Using tongs, remove the pineapple from the bowl and add it to the frying pan. Cook, stirring often, until well browned on all sides, about 5–6 minutes. Transfer the pineapple to a plate.

6. Add the shrimp to the same frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until pink and opaque, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the plate with the pineapple.

7. Pour the pineapple juice and chili-garlic sauce into the same frying pan over medium-high heat. Scrape up the browned bits with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 12–16 minutes. Remove from heat.

8. Stir in the pineapple and shrimp mixture along with 1 cup of basil.

9. Divide the rice noodles among serving bowls. Spoon the pineapple and shrimp mixture over the noodles and drizzle with any extra sauce.

10. Top with cucumber, onion, peanuts, and additional basil. Serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.
