Tips:

  • Choose large shrimp: They're easier to skewer and will cook evenly on the grill.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Canned pineapple will make your kabobs soggy. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use frozen unsweetened pineapple that has been thawed and drained.
  • Cut the pineapple into uniform pieces: This will help ensure they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the shrimp and pineapple before grilling: This will help them flavor and prevent them from drying out. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is all you need.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers: Leave some space between the shrimp and pineapple so they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the kabobs for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through: You can tell the shrimp is done when it turns pink and opaque.
  • Serve the kabobs immediately: They're best enjoyed hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp and pineapple kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. They're perfect for a backyard barbecue or a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish everyone will love. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
