Make sure they are fully defrosted before cooking, then pat them dry with kitchen paper so they sear nicely instead of releasing too much water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spray Oil:<\/strong> A light spray oil works well to keep the dish lower in fat, but you can also use a small amount of neutral oil such as vegetable, sunflower, or avocado oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and Black Pepper:<\/strong> Season the prawns lightly before cooking. Go easy on the salt because the soy sauce in the sauce already adds saltiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spring Onions:<\/strong> Chopped spring onions add freshness and a mild onion flavour. Use them as a garnish at the end, or stir some through the dish just before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Ginger:<\/strong> Grated fresh ginger gives the sauce a warm, zesty flavour. Ground ginger can be used in a pinch, but fresh ginger works best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Minced garlic adds depth and savoury flavour. Fresh garlic is ideal, though garlic paste can also be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pineapple Juice:<\/strong> This is the main sweet and tangy base of the sauce. Use unsweetened pineapple juice where possible so the sauce does not become too sweet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> Helps loosen the sauce and balance the strength of the pineapple juice, tomato paste, and soy sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soy Sauce:<\/strong> Adds saltiness and savoury flavour. Use light or low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer more control over the salt level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato Paste\/Pur\u00e9e:<\/strong> Gives the sauce colour, body, and a rich tangy flavour. Make sure it is well mixed into the liquid so the sauce is smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Granulated Sweetener:<\/strong> Adds sweetness to balance the acidity of the pineapple juice and tomato paste. You can substitute with brown sugar if preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Thickens the sauce and gives it that glossy sweet-and-sour finish. Mix it with the sauce ingredients well before heating to avoid lumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toasted Sesame Seeds:<\/strong> A small pinch adds nuttiness and texture. Toasted sesame seeds give the best flavour, but they can be left out if you do not have them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Sweet and Sour Shrimp - A super easy and quick recipe for shrimp in a Chinese style sweet and sour sauce, perfect with rice and some stir fried vegetables. #slimming #weightwatchers\" data-pin-title=\"Sweet and Sour Shrimp (Prawns)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22.jpg\" alt=\"close up sweet and sour shrimp in black frying pan with wooden spoon\" class=\"wp-image-33463\" title=\"Sweet and Sour Shrimp - A super easy and quick recipe for shrimp in a Chinese style sweet and sour sauce, perfect with rice and some stir fried vegetables. #slimming #weightwatchers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-22-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best things about sweet and sour prawns is how easy it is to adapt with different vegetables, proteins, and flavours depending on what you have at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add More Vegetables:<\/strong> Bulk the dish out with colourful vegetables like red or green bell peppers, onion, mangetout, sugar snap peas, baby corn, broccoli, carrots, or chunks of fresh pineapple. Stir fry the vegetables first so they stay crisp and vibrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swap the Protein:<\/strong> Not a fan of prawns? This recipe works just as well with diced chicken breast, lean pork, salmon chunks, tofu, or even a plant-based chicken alternative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Fresh Prawns:<\/strong> Fresh raw prawns can be used instead of frozen if preferred. Just keep an eye on the cooking time as prawns cook very quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it Spicier:<\/strong> Add some chilli flakes, fresh red chilli, or a drizzle of sriracha for a little heat alongside the sweetness of the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try Different Sweeteners:<\/strong> Brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar can all be used instead of brown granulated sweetener if that is what you have available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten Free Option:<\/strong> Swap the soy sauce for tamari or a gluten free soy sauce alternative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra Citrus Flavour:<\/strong> A squeeze of lime juice at the end brightens everything up beautifully and works really well with the pineapple.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Cashews or Peanuts:<\/strong> For extra crunch and texture, stir through a handful of roasted cashews or peanuts just before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Simple Sweet and Sour Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the sweet and sour sauce I use just a handful of ingredients for that typical sweet and sour taste, this works so well with any protein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pineapple Juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garlic <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ginger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soy Sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cornstarch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Granulated Sweetener<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pineapple juice adds a nice flavour and sweetness to the sauce with the sweetener and the cornstarch helps to thicken so that it coats the shrimp and is lovely and glossy. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Sweet and Sour Shrimp - A super easy and quick recipe for shrimp in a Chinese style sweet and sour sauce, perfect with rice and some stir fried vegetables. #slimming #weightwatchers\" data-pin-title=\"Sweet and Sour Shrimp (Prawns)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33462\" title=\"Sweet and Sour Shrimp - A super easy and quick recipe for shrimp in a Chinese style sweet and sour sauce, perfect with rice and some stir fried vegetables. #slimming #weightwatchers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sweet-and-sour-shrimp-21-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sides Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common side to serve alongside a Sweet and Sour dish is rice and plain jasmine is one of my favourites.

I just dump a bag of stir fry veggie mix into the pan with a little spray oil and seasoning and will have that. We get a great mix here that contains cabbage, kale, broccoli stalks and carrots. It might be all vegetables, but it feels like noodles and is filling while being really low in calories.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Chinese Fakeaway Recipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for some more Chinese Recipes?
