Ingredients

• 450 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 250 grams fresh pineapple, cut into cubes
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, red chili flakes (optional), salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

Step 3

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the pineapple by cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it up over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the two.

Step 6

Lightly grease the grill grates or grill pan with oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns opaque and charred grill marks appear on the pineapple.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Grilled Shrimp Pineapple skewers immediately as an appetizer or over a bed of rice for a complete meal. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for added flavor.
