Directions

1 In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix marinade ingredients. Add shrimp, pineapple, bell pepper and onions; stir to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice.
2 Heat gas or charcoal grill. Carefully brush vegetable oil on grill rack. On each of 4 (12- to 14-inch) metal skewers, thread shrimp, pineapple, bell pepper and onions alternately, leaving small space between each piece. Reserve marinade.
3 Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 to 7 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade once, until shrimp are pink and vegetables are tender. Discard any remaining marinade.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Marinating for a little longer will intensify the flavor slightly, but don't leave it for more than 2 hours. The marinade will start to break down the tissues in the shrimp, and the bell pepper will not be as pretty.

This marinade is also delicious on chicken breasts. Marinate as directed, then grill until the juice of the chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).

I have the pickiest eater there is (my husband). He'll only eat about 6 things, spaghetti, steak, tacos, mac and cheese and sometimes chicken and shrimp. I'm also gluten free so making dinner is always a headache for me. I wanted to try something different so I tried this recipe, thinking he wouldn't eat the veggies or pineapple but maybe the shrimp, He ate it all and loved it!!! We've had it twice this week! I'm so excited to have something else to add to our "dinner list."
