Pineapple and shrimp are a delicious combination that are quick to grill and make for the perfect summer dinner. These skewers are marinated in a honey lime sauce that gives them a light citrus taste and you can serve this with my lime aioli dressing over grains or salad. Once everything is on the skewers, these are ready in 10 minutes or less. They are gluten free and dairy free and an easy and simple grill meal.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Shrimp: I get wild and sustainably caught shrimp from Sizzlefish (use code GIRLSWHOEAT for 15% off your first order), which come pre-portioned out and flash frozen so they last a while and are high quality
- Pineapple
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Honey: local honey is my first choice and you can usually find that at your farmer’s markets or at the grocery store
- Chili Powder
- Lime
- Vegan Mayo: regular mayo also works and this is only needed for the chipotle mayo sauce
- Salt
Tips:
- Marinade the shrimp and pineapple for 15-30 minutes to have the most flavorful skewers
- You can make all shrimp or all pineapple skewers if you do not want to have skewers with both
- Use a shallow rectangular dish to marinate the skewers
- Spray or brush the grill with oil so the skewers will not stick
- You can get these ready a day in advance and leave them marinating in the fridge
How to Store:
