Shrimp Pineapple Skewers
A straight shot of summer: vibrant, easy to make, and bursting with flavor from a silky honey garlic marinade. Toss these on the grill and serve over rice or a big salad for an easy, breezy al fresco meal.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon minced or grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 pound medium raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 cups cubed fresh pineapple
- 1 sweet onion peeled and chopped into 1” square chunks
- 2 bell peppers any color, seeded and chopped into 1” square chunks
- rice quinoa, or another grain, for serving
Instructions
- In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Place shrimp in a bowl and pour half of the honey mixture on top. Stir to combine, then set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
- While the shrimp marinates, prep the pineapple, onion, and peppers. All should be chopped into roughly 1” cubes.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan set over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 5-6 minutes, until slightly thickened into a sauce. (This is optional; if you skip it, you can just cut the total amount of marinade you make in half.)
- When ready to grill, thread the marinated shrimp, pineapple, onion, and peppers onto long skewers. Discard the used marinade.
- Cook skewers over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. (The shrimp cook quickly, so keep a close eye, but you do want to leave the skewers on long enough for the onion and pepper to get a little tender.)
- Serve skewers right away with the sauce drizzled on top and rice, quinoa, or any other grain you like on the side.
