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.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 pound jumbo shrimp
½ fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
skewers
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers and place on a platter.
  • Arrange skewers on the hot grate. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. Turn grill to low heat and brush sauce on both sides of skewers. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.

These skewers were a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices to the teriyaki sauce next time.

The shrimp was a bit overcooked, but the pineapple was perfect. I would recommend cooking the shrimp for less time next time.

The teriyaki sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less soy sauce next time.

I used frozen shrimp for this recipe and they turned out great. Just make sure to thaw them before cooking.

The pineapple added a nice sweetness to the skewers. I would recommend using fresh pineapple if you can.
