Start with cleaned shrimp and season with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Mix the seasoning into the shrimp to coat evenly and let it rest.

In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, and cornstarch to make the teriyaki sauce, mixing until dissolved.

In a pot over low heat, add a little olive oil.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the pot and cook for about 4-5 minutes, flipping to avoid overcooking.

Remove the shrimp from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add more olive oil, then add finely chopped ginger and garlic, sautéing over low heat.

Add optional cubed carrots to the pot and sauté until slightly softened.

Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pot, keeping the heat low to prevent burning.

Once the sauce begins to bubble and thicken, add diced pineapples and cook for about 2 minutes.

Return the shrimp to the pot and mix everything together, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
