Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 250 grams fresh pineapple, cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, red chili flakes (optional), salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the pineapple by cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it up over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the two.
Lightly grease the grill grates or grill pan with oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns opaque and charred grill marks appear on the pineapple.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve the Grilled Shrimp Pineapple skewers immediately as an appetizer or over a bed of rice for a complete meal. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for added flavor.
