Recipe: Pineapple Honey Grilled Shrimp
POSTED ON 14-02-10 POSTED IN THE Shrimp, RecipesStill on the shrimp kick I’m posting this recipe I picked up from the “Fresh From Florida” site. It’s one that I have tried before and I can say it’s easy to make and even better to eat. It definitely works great when you are pressed for time (like when you have a 1 year old who has suspiciously gone quiet in the corner of your family room amid green fumes…).
The recipe is one for the grill so roast some veggies and pour yourself a glass of nice, crisp Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

Pineapple Honey Grilled Shrimp
| Ingredients | |
| 1 1/2 | pounds Florida (white or pink) shrimp, peeled and deveined |
| 1 | cup pineapple chunks |
| 2 | tablespoons fresh lime juice |
| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 2 | tablespoons honey |
| 1 | tablespoon garlic, minced |
| 2 | teaspoons soy sauce |
Preparation
Arrange shrimp and pineapple chunks on wooden skewers and place in a flat bottom glass casserole dish. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, oil, honey, garlic and soy sauce, reserving one ounce for basting during cooking. Pour the remaining marinade over shrimp skewers. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Place skewers on grill about 6 inches from coals or gas flame. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until shrimp are opaque and pineapple begins to brown; baste with reserved marinade before turning. Serve with grilled vegetables.
