Are you a lover of sweet and spicy? I am and Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp is the ticket!!!! The problem with making a delicious sweet and spicy or sour sauce is the amount of sugar that goes into the dish. When I was accepted as a blogger to take the Keystone Pantry Allulose Blogger Recipe Challenge, I knew immediately that I wanted to do an Asian inspired dish that would bring the sweet and some heat. The product is quite amazing.

The company mailed all eligible bloggers a 3 pound container of the Allulose Natural Rare Sugar Substitute. This product looks and taste like the real thing, probably because it is made from real sugar but it containers only 1 calorie per serving and has zero net carbs. This is great news for anyone on a low carb/Keto/Paleo diet plan. But let’s face it, we don’t have to be on a particular diet plan to eat healthier. I watch the amount of sugar I consume on a daily basis. This product can help make the day taste a whole lot better.

Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Shrimp is what came to mind for my entree entry. I love a sweet and sour dish but do not care for all of the sugar involved. This dish is so quick and easy. The sauce ingredients go into a bowl. The shrimp are sauteed in the sesame seed oil and then the sauce is added and cooked until thickened. Toss in fresh green onions and serve over cauliflower rice or white rice.
