Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups Pineapple (fresh, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
- 10 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lime juice, ground black pepper, paprika, and red chili flakes (if using).
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the pineapple by cutting it into 1-inch cubes if not already done.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or set up a grill pan on your stovetop and heat it over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple cubes onto skewers, alternating between shrimp and pineapple.
Brush the grill or grill pan lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and have slight grill marks. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the Pineapple Skewered Shrimp hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped cilantro or a wedge of lime. Enjoy!
