Cook shrimp according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, stir fry green pepper and onion in oil, 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain pineapple, reserving the juice in a 2-cup measuring cup; set pineapple aside. Add enough water to the juice to measure 11/3 cups; stir in vinegar, soy sauce and ketchup. In a bowl, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pineapple juice mixture until smooth. Gradually add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Add pineapple. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Stir in shrimp. Serve immediately. Serve with rice. Yield: 4 servings
