This is a fabulous recipe. I was trolling the web for a sweet and sour shrimp and many of them wanted an overnight marinade. I was intimidated by the number of ingredients, but once I read through it, I realized it wasn't bad at all. My family loved it. The only change I made was to use cherry tomatoes instead of maraschino cherries. I was looking for a healthier alternative. The consensus around our table was "Make this again!"

Absolutely fantastic. I added about 1 extra teaspoon of vinegar as I thought it was not quite "sour" enough and a bit on the sweet side.. but other than that --- my family RAVED and I will make this again.

We loved this! We doubled it and used Costco unthawed meatballs instead of the shrimp, and it was outstanding. I did add a red bell pepper along with the green, left out the cherries, and made the sauce separately and in advance to allow flavors to meld/season. Fired up the rice cooker with brown rice instead of white also. This is a keeper!

Excellent recipe. Made it with shrimp once and with chicken another time and both went over well. Rave reviews.

It was excellent. My husband devoured the entire plate. It was better than the sweet and sour shrimp we eat out. I didnt have any green onions or cherries but it was delicious. Totally totally recommended.

I had never made sweet and sour shrimp before, so I searched for recipes and compared techniques and ingredients. I chose this because it was easy, and pretty much encompassed what other recipes include. I was skeptical about using ketchup because I didn't want added sugar, but I gave it a try. Didn't notice it in the dish once it was completed. I used brown sugar as the sweetener, added lime to my cornstarch instead of water, and used rice wine vinegar. My family devoured this dish. Everyone had seconds. I used 1.5 pounds of shrimp and made a little extra sauce, just to make sure we had enough. Also added colored bell peppers I had on hand, and sliced carrots. Pepper flakes didn't bother me - just add to your preference. I also left out the cherries. I served with Thai-style coconut rice, which uses coconut milk and coconut flakes cooked into the rice. It really complimented the dish.
