• Preheat a grill over medium heat (350º-400ºF)
• Mix the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, cilantro and sea salt together in a medium bowl.
• Thread the shrimp, pineapple, red onions and peppers onto the skewers alternating the red and green peppers as you go. Use two shrimp per skewer with veggies in between and on the outside of each shrimp.
• Brush skewers with half the marinade and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Place the skewers on the grill, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Brush the skewers with the remaining chili sauce as they cook.

• Thread pineapple, shrimp, and bell pepper alternately onto both skewers and baste with the remaining sauce.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat (400 degrees F (200 degrees C)) and lightly oil the grate.

GRILLED TERIYAKI SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

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.

ISLAND SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS WITH RUM BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• In a bowl, combine the lime juice, oil, 2 teaspoons of the ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and pineapple chunks, toss to combine, and let marinate while the grill heats, about 15 minutes. Remove from the marinade.
• Wrap the shrimp with the prosciutto. Alternately, thread the pineapple chunks and the wrapped shrimp onto metal or bamboo skewers. Grill until the shrimp are cooked through and the pineapple chunks are marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill. (Alternately, the skewers can be cooked under the broiler, turning as necessary to cook evenly and avoid burning.)
• Make the sauce in a medium saucepan by combining the rum, shallots, and remaining 2 teaspoons of minced ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to 3 tablespoons in volume, 3 to 4 minutes. With the heat on medium-low, whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, removing the pan from the heat periodically to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking. Season with the salt and cayenne, and stir. Remove from the heat and transfer to a decorative bowl.
• To serve, transfer the wrapped shrimp and pineapple chunks from the skewers to a platter. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with the rum butter sauce.

SHRIMP-PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a roasting rack in a large baking pan.
• To make the marinade, pour the teriyaki sauce in a bowl and then throw in the ginger, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt, garlic, green onions and lemon juice. Stir it around and set it aside.
• Next, cut the pineapple into chunks by lopping off the top, slicing off the rind, cutting the pineapple into wedges, slicing off the hard inner core and then cutting the slices into chunks. Store half the chunks in the fridge for snacking.
• Place a chunk of pineapple on top of a shrimp and then wrap the whole thing in one of the half-slices of bacon. Stick a skewer through the whole thing so that it holds the pineapple, shrimp and bacon securely, and lay it on the rack in the pan. Continue with the remaining ingredients. Brush each skewer generously with some of the marinade.
• Roast the skewers for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush with a second coat of marinade. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the bacon is sizzling and the shrimp is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Serve them hot or at room temperature. Divine!
