Pineapple Shrimp Kabobs

Try these pineapple shrimp kabobs - shrimp and sweet pineapple balanced with just a bit of spice.

Combining some recent sales on pineapple and shrimp with our desire to eat more seafood, I thought I'd make some pineapple shrimp kabobs. As with most dishes, I opted for quick and easy. You could go even easier just cooking up the shrimp in a pan, but eating these pineapple shrimp off a skewer is just more fun! I opted to make these pineapple shrimp skewers in a pan (grills banned at the apartment) :(, but don't let me stop you from grilling your skewers!

What's your favorite thing to eat on a skewer?

Try these pineapple shrimp kabobs - shrimp and sweet pineapple balanced with just a bit of spice.

Prep time: 15 minutes + marinating time
Cook time: 5 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes + marinating time
Yield: 2 servings

Materials:

Mass	Weight	Volume	Number	Material	Notes
		1/2 tablespoon		brown sugar
		1/2 teaspoon		chili powder
		1/2 teaspoon		garlic, minced
		1 tablespoon		lime juice
	8 ounces		about 16	pineapple chunks
	1 pound		about 16	shrimp

Methods:

1. Gather all materials.
2. Combine all materials except pineapple, marinating if desired. (I'd recommend marinating if grilling, but if cooking in a pan, it's not as essential.)
3. Skewer the shrimp with a piece of pineapple in between.
4. Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn opaque. If you still have a lot of liquid left, you can reduce it and use it as a sauce.
