Description

Grilled Shrimp Pineapple Skewers offer a delightful combination of succulent shrimp and sweet, caramelized pineapple, creating a tropical flavor explosion. The smoky char from the grill enhances the natural sweetness of the pineapple, while the shrimp remains tender and juicy, making each bite a refreshing experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Shrimp: 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Pineapple: 1 medium ripe pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Marinade:
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Skewers: 8-10 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
  2. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  4. Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple cubes alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the pineapple has grill marks.
  6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: You can marinate the shrimp up to 2 hours in advance for deeper flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Substitutions: Use chicken or firm tofu instead of shrimp for a different protein option.
