3 Tbl. soy sauce
2 Tbl. brown sugar
1 Tbl. white vinegar

8 oz. fresh snow peas
**I used broccoli, red bell peppers, onion, and carrots for our veggies, just pick ones you like!
2 tsp. vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed
cooked shrimp, beef or chicken (your choice)

If you are using anything other than pre-cooked shrimp, cook meat and set aside.

Combine ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and cornstarch in small bowl, whisk until blended.

Drain pineapple (saving 1/2 c. of the juice). Add juice to ketchup mixture

Heat oil in skillet on medium heat until hot. Add veggies and garlic. Cook until veggies are desired consistency. Stir in ketchup mixture. Bring to boil. Cook and stir one minute until thickened.
