Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on optional)
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (1-inch pieces)
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional)
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional)
  • 8–10 skewers (soak wooden skewers 20–30 minutes)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (for grill grates)
  • Marinade:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar or maple syrup)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (plus extra lime wedges for serving)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt and a few grinds black pepper
  • For serving (optional):
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Extra lime wedges
  • Cooked rice, coconut rice, or mixed greens

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes so they do not burn.
  2. In a bowl, whisk soy or tamari, honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat shrimp dry. Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate 15–30 minutes in the fridge (do not go over 45 minutes).
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F). Clean and oil the grates lightly.
  5. Thread shrimp, pineapple, bell pepper, and red onion onto skewers, alternating for color and even cooking. Let excess marinade drip off.
  6. Grill skewers 2–3 minutes per side, until shrimp are opaque and just firm, with light char on edges. Do not overcook.
  7. Remove to a plate. Squeeze with fresh lime, sprinkle cilantro, and serve hot over rice or salad.

Notes

Skewers can be prepped ahead. Use high heat and cook quickly to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
