Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers image

These savory-sweet shrimp skewers are easy to make and cook in just a few minutes. They are perfect for summer weeknights or weekend dinner parties. Prep the sauce ahead of time for an even faster dinner. I prefer to use jumbo shrimp (21-25 per pound), however use what you have on hand.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND SHRIMP



Grilled Pineapple and Shrimp image

One day I was reading some Internet memes about putting pineapple on pizza and realized that in North America pineapple is rarely used in savory dishes. So, I ventured out to make a savory pineapple dish with flavors that I knew would work...plus my daughter wanted shrimp.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 jumbo shrimp (16/20 size), peeled with tail-on (about 12 ounces)
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored and sliced into 6 spears
2 tablespoons chili oil
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon honey
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Pat the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, shallot, lemon zest, coriander, olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, then very gently toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) to marinate.
  • Using a pair of 12-inch metal skewers, thread 6 of the shrimp on both the tail and "head" side, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each shrimp. You will end up with a total of 2 sets of skewered shrimp (6 per pair of skewers).
  • Place the pineapple on a large plate and drizzle with the chili oil. Gently flip the spears around to thinly and evenly coat the pineapple all over.
  • Grill the pineapple without moving the spears too much until nicely caramelized grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large serving platter and finish seasoning with a touch of salt.
  • Grill the skewered shrimp over direct heat until pink and just firm at the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes per side (they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so try not to leave them on the grill too long!). Carefully remove the shrimp from the hot skewers and arrange them over the grilled pineapple.
  • Whisk the coconut milk and honey in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved. Drizzle over and around the shrimp and pineapple. Garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves and serve right away.

GRILLED SHRIMP, TOFU AND PINEAPPLE SALAD



Grilled Shrimp, Tofu and Pineapple Salad image

This was delicious and dh didn't even complain about the tofu -- not only that he loved it and had second and third helpings -- cooked this way and combined in this delish salad tofu takes on a different role in the salad. By the way as I was afraid that the shrimp would fall through the grill grates, I left the shrimp in a metal disposable pie dish and cooked it on the grill that way - the shrimp was delish and spicy!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and firm shrimp and tofu. This will ensure that they cook evenly and have the best flavor.
  • Marinate the shrimp and tofu before grilling. This will help to infuse them with flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Grill the shrimp and tofu over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside and keep the inside tender and juicy.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp and tofu. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink, and tofu should be cooked until it is slightly browned and firm.
  • Serve the grilled shrimp and tofu immediately. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp, tofu, and pineapple salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for summer gatherings. The shrimp and tofu are grilled to perfection and the pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This salad is also a great source of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
