Sweet and Sour Shrimp (with photos)

034


When we lived in South Bend there was a tiny, delightful, store front Thai restaurant downtown that had the most amazing tofu stir fry (for lack of a better title or term), Thai spring rolls, and a sweet and sour sauce for the spring rolls that was simply amazing.  It was a perfect blend of sweet and savory/sour with a hint of heat.  I have drooled for that sauce time and time again.

You can never go wrong with a fresh pineapple whether you plan to slice and serve, make a tropical fruit salad, bake a pineapple upside down cake, mix tropical drinks, or in this case, dice it nice and small and create salsa.

Thus far I've made blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, and nearly blueberry sorbet (for some reason the sorbet didn't set up properly, we'll try again soon).

What shall I bake tomorrow with these delicious blue orbs of joy?
