Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pineapple, cut into chunks
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
3. Place the shrimp in the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
5. Alternate threading the shrimp, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers.
6. Grease the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is opaque and the vegetables have a nice char.
8. Brush the leftover marinade over the skewers during the last couple of minutes of cooking.
9. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve the shrimp and pineapple skewers hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

Cooking Tips:

• Ensure all the shrimp are approximately the same size for even cooking.
• Cut the pineapple and vegetables in uniform size to match the cooking time of the shrimp.
• Marinating the shrimp for too long can make it mushy due to the pineapple’s natural enzymes, so stick to the recommended time.
