Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe

Inspired by sauce from my favorite Chinese food restaurant this Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe tastes great on just about anything! Slather it on any type of meat, use it in stir fry or as an egg roll dip. I took my sauce out to the barbecue and made Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers!

I am proud to be partnering with Thrive® Algae Oil to bring you this tasty recipe! As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

You know that jarred orangey-red sweet chili sauce that you get for egg rolls and potstickers? Yeah, this Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe is like that except homemade with fresh, healthy, high quality ingredients!

This sauce is sweetened with honey and pineapple juice. Fresh garlic and peppers give it the great flavor. And Thrive® Culinary Algae Oil gives it the silky consistency that is perfect with just about anything!

I was first introduced to Thrive® Culinary Algae Oil last November when I made this Butternut Squash Salad. I was so impressed with the product and am thrilled be spreading the word about their amazing oil again! And I am NOT easily impressed. Every other day there seems to be some magical new product on the shelves. And yes, most of them are good . . . but not enough to be considered amazing.

Thrive® Algae Oil has a mild, delicate flavor and smell. It allows the food and flavors to shine! And, Thrive® Algae Oil is sustainable. Their mission is to create an oil that is better for people and the planet.

Thrive® Algae Oil is great for just about any of your cooking needs from sautéing, frying, baking, dressings, marinades and GRILLING! It’s neutral flavor will highlight any dish. And Thrive® Algae Oil has a crazy high smoke point of 485°!

The health benefits of Thrive® Algae Oil cannot be ignored. It has the highest level of monounsaturated fat {the good fat} and the lowest level of saturated fat {the bad fat} with 75% less saturated fat than olive oil.

Once you make the Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe it is time to fire up that grill!

I did a simple skewer of shrimp and pineapple. I coated the skewers with Thrive® Algae Oil to prevent sticking.

Grilled pineapple is freaking awesome! If you haven’t tried it, trust me, get that pineapple on the grill.

This sauce pairs perfectly with the shrimp and pineapple. Serve them on top of salad greens for a fresh summer meal. You can use about half the sauce for the skewers and the remaining sauce as a salad dressing if you like. I added a splash of pineapple juice to thin down the sauce and drizzle over my salad.

Whether you are dipping, drizzling, slathering or saucing . . . this Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe is all you need!
