Our "International Favorites" theme continues with this spicy Thai dish. Try it without shrimp for a yummy vegetarian meal. This is easy to be both a crowd pleaser, since it can either be pescatarian or vegetarian, and a chef pleaser, because it's made in one skillet for easy clean up. It also nixes the nuts for those with an allergy, and makes use of canned pineapple and frozen shrimp, which can be easy to find at any supermarket no matter the season. The flavor profile is strong and spicy with fresh cilantro and serrano chilis added to your soy sauce.
