HAWAIIAN BEACH SHRIMP

Hawaiian Beach Shrimp image

This recipe is great for hibachi on the beach or in your backyard. You can also broil it in your oven if you're not in Hawaii or near a beach. It's a easy way to prepare a shrimp dish that's 'ono' (delicious) and moist! You can serve this either as an appetizer (pupu) or entree. I prepare it either with or without the shells on - depending on how fast I want people to eat 'um up! Aloha from Hawaii!!! Enjoy!

GRILLED POLYNESIAN SHRIMP

Grilled Polynesian Shrimp image

I love shrimp of every description! In this recipe, I've marinated jumbo shrimp in a Polynesian sauce that is just perfect with pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and brown sugar for several hours, then skewered it with green pepper and fresh pineapple chunks. The skewers only cook for 2 minutes on each side and the shrimp are succulent and full of incredible flavor! The green pepper and pineapple and charred and smokey! Very quick and easy, just make time to marinate. Delicious served over brown rice!
