Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 large mango (diced into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 large red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 medium red onion (cut into chunks)
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 12 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, cayenne pepper, paprika, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate bowl for basting later.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the kabobs by threading pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and shrimp alternately onto the skewers.
Brush the kabobs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and grill marks appear on the fruits and vegetables.
During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the kabobs with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and drizzle with a little more lime juice for a fresh finish.
Serve warm alongside coconut rice, grilled flatbread, or a refreshing salad for a devilishly delicious meal.
