Heat oil in large pan, add onion and cook until tender, being careful not to burn the oil. Add the salt and pepper, celery, bell pepper, catsup, and pineapple, stir well. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp, mix well, and heat through, remembering that the shrimp are already cooked.
Serve with rice or pasta.
