Step-by-Step Instructions

Marinate the shrimp in a mixing bowl with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Prepare the pineapple by cutting fresh pineapple into chunks or ensuring canned pineapple is well-drained.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
Add marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add prepared pineapple chunks to the skillet, stirring gently for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed and slightly caramelized.
Remove from heat, transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime juice, if desired.
