Preparation Steps

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and olive oil until well combined, creating a vibrant marinade.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque.
Toss in the pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or lime wedges if desired.
