Ingredients

• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Rice vinegar
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Bell pepper (red or yellow), thinly sliced
• 4 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 medium Pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch rings
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for grilling)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine rice vinegar, olive oil, red onion, bell pepper, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and just cooked through. Drain and transfer shrimp to a shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the slightly cooled escabeche marinade over the shrimp. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to soak up the flavors.

Step 4

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the ginger grilled pineapple. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix grated ginger, honey, and vegetable oil. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the pineapple rings.

Step 6

Place the pineapple rings on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is lightly caramelized.

Step 7

To serve, arrange the shrimp on a platter with the grilled pineapple slices. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
