Sweet and sour pork, or gu lou yuk, is an iconic Cantonese dish. Made with crisp, deep-fried pieces of meat, sweet peppers, and golden pineapple chunks all coated in a bright and glossy sweet and sour sauce, the dish is beloved from across China to around the world.
This variation swaps the pork for shrimp, a less popular choice of protein—but if you make it right, it tastes even better than the original.
