EASY SHRIMP STIR-FRY WITH GREEN PEPPER, PINEAPPLE & BACON

EASY SHRIMP STIR-FRY WITH GREEN PEPPER, PINEAPPLE & BACON

This sweet, spicy and super-easy shrimp-and-vegetable stir-fry starts with a very small amount of bacon in the wok, which creates drippings that add tons of smoky flavor to the vegetables and shrimp that go in next.
