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
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the pineapple by cutting it into 1-inch cubes if not already done.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or set up a grill pan on your stovetop and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple cubes onto skewers, alternating between shrimp and pineapple.
Step 7
Brush the grill or grill pan lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Step 10
Serve the Pineapple Skewered Shrimp hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped cilantro or a wedge of lime. Enjoy!
