Sweet chili and shrimp go hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly. But better, because this is for grown-ups, and there are no yucky crusts of the sandwich left over. But that's not the only sweetness: pineapple brings its own tart delight. And this meal is super quick and easy to prepare? Sweet. Tip: Best way to remove ribs and seeds from a red bell pepper? Cut off top and bottom of pepper, then either carefully cut or tear our the seed portion
