Creating Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Sweet Pineapple is easy and fun when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating between the two.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
7. Brush with Marinade: Optional – brush with extra marinade during grilling for added flavor.
8. Remove and Serve: Carefully take the skewers off the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
