  • Measure out 1/4 cup pineapple juice from the can and add to a small mixing bowl. Set pineapple chunks aside and reserve any extra juice for another use or discard.
  • Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and pepper flakes to the pineapple juice; stir until well combined. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl and leave the rest in the mixing bowl.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil to the hot skillet and heat until it shimmers, about 30 seconds. Add red onion and bell peppers; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli; cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add the sauce from the mixing bowl and bring to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and begin to curl, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir cornstarch into the sauce in the small bowl, mixing until there are no lumps. Slowly add to the skillet, stirring constantly. Add reserved pineapple chunks.
  • Cook until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle cashews over top. Serve immediately.
