Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine raw shrimps with 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch. Mix well to cover the shrimps.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic for about 30 seconds. Add shrimps, season with salt and pepper and cook until they turn pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.
While shrimps are cooking, combine pineapple juice (you should get about ½ cup out of an 8 oz can) and 2 tsp arrowroot (or 3 tsp cornstarch) in a small bowl.
In the same skillet, you used for the shrimps, combine pineapple juice mixture and honey, and keep stirring. As soon as it starts bubbling, reduce heat. Return shrimps to the skillet, add pineapple chunks and hot pepper flakes and stir until heated through. Serve immediately.
