  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks

  • 1 pound fresh pineapple, cut into 1-2 inch chunks (you can cheat and buy these, you know)

Sweet And Spicy Shrimp Pineapple Kebabs Recipe


INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium heat.
  2. Make the glaze by combining the pineapple juice, sweet chili sauce and hoisin in a saucepan and bringing it up to a boil. Turn off the heat, stir and leave it sit until you are ready to glaze the skewers.
  3. Thread the shrimp, bell peppers, green onions and pineapple onto 2 skewers held closely together (to make 7-8 total kebabs) to keep them steady. I aim for three large shrimp per skewer.
  4. Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, turning several times, until the veggies, pineapple and shrimp are almost cooked. Baste with the glaze and continue cooking for 5-8 more minutes, basting some more glaze on one more time.
  5. Serve on a platter with Coconut Rice.
