I actually almost tripled the amount of pineapple used in this recipe and really really loved it - I had a 20 ounce can - started with using half of it and then added the whole thing. It ended up being like a sweet n sour shrimp dish. Also, I used 2 to 3 T soy sauce and 1 t of ground ginger and added about 2 T of honey. Using a shallot may add another dimension as one user suggested and I may add a little cornstarch next time to thicken/coat the sauce since using so much pineapple created quite a bit more broth. Overall we loved it - I'd give it 5 stars if I had made no alterations, but as the recipe was written it was headed to being on the bland side and I added only after I tasted the original. It was a GREAT starting point, though, and I've added it to my meal plan rotation.

i altered the recipe a bit based on available ingredients- it was simple to make and tasted great! i used a large shallot instead of an onion, Uncle Ben's Ready Rice (which takes 90 seconds in the microwave), an 8 oz package of diced ham, and only 1 pound of shrimp- which was plenty. the dish tasted like i spend a lot of time on it, but it was ready from start to finish in about 30 mins. definitely will make it again!

The combination of flavors is wonderful! I fudged ingredients a little based on other reviews. I upped the soy sauce to a tablespoon and ginger to a 1/2 tsp. I only used 1 lb. shrimp which was plenty! This is easy to prepare and a great dish for the whole family!

This was an interesting dish, with ingredients that I wasn't sure would go well together. But, it turned out very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

It was OK, but I used green bell pepper instead of green pepper. I think it'll be better if it's stir fried instead of baked.

I neither loved nor disliked this recipe (hence my neutral review). I felt it was a tad bland, but was quite pleased with how fast this was to make. I didn't add the ham, so maybe there is a difference if the saltiness of the ham is added.

This was very good, although I did make some changes. I used green onions for more flavor and I did not add ham. My husband and I liked the pineapple so I think next time I'll add a little more. Overall very tasty!

I had to quickly make somthing for a potluck and chose this dish. Everyone raved about it and there were no leftovers! I did make a few changes to what I had on hand; I used chicken instead of ham and omitted the green pepper as I did not have any. I also sprinkled some chives on top for presentation after I had taken it out of the oven. This will become a regular, thanks for a great recipe.
