This time of year I’m looking for any recipe that includes “barbecue” in the title. “Grilled” works for me too.
Barbecue Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers
The truth is that I love grilling season for one reason only – most of the work lands on my husband. The grill is his domain and I’m glad to let him have it!
Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers
Kabob recipes are perfect for an easy weeknight meal. All you have to do is take whatever fruit or vegetable is in season and skewer it with chunks of protein like these succulent shrimp.
Barbecued Shrimp and Pineapple
My kabobs add a festive feeling to the meal, don’t you think? With a bowl of spicy dipping sauce on the side, we’re ready to serve a low calorie, healthy meal.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 small limes, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tamari, or low salt soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, crushed
- ½ teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 cups pineapple, fresh cut into chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill.
- In a small saucepan combine lime juice, lime zest, vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, honey, ginger, chili garlic sauce, water, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and reserve half of the mixture for dipping sauce.
- Alternate pineapple, tomatoes and shrimp on skewers and brush with lime sauce.
- Place on grill and grill for 3 - 5 minutes per side until shrimp is cooked through. Brush more sauce on if desired as you turn the skewers.
- Serve with dipping sauce.

I have this little jar of chili garlic sauce that I can’t live without. It adds the best kick to sauces and dips.
Perfect for ANY night!

I found a handy kabob holder for the grill last weekend. I thought my husband had died and gone to heaven he was so happy.
These look delicious–and I adore kebabs. I’m a little afraid of the grill, though, which I totally need to get over!

I don’t blame you, I’ve seen a few people singe their eyebrows off.
The kabobs look wonderful.

It’s funny, I’m not a big fan of shrimp, but I really like it on the grill. Have a good weekend.
My Mr handles the grill also and I don’t mind one bit. Your kabobs look very lively and fun to eat.

I love kabobs – you can mix then up with anything you like. Have a good week.
Delicious and healthy meal. I love the pineapple in the kabob
Your brownie also looks delicious, Kristi.
That brownie recipe really was terrific. I can’t take credit for it – Chocolate Covered Katie whipped up a very versatile recipe. Today I’m making it with bananas and then turning it into a parfait with strawberries and whipped cream. Have a good week!
Great combo! Shrimp & pineapple take about the same time to grill, and that sauce looks really good. I love grilling season! Meant, fowl, fish, veggies – everything will get grilled at our house one time or another this summer.
Those look gorgeous. Great mix with the shrimp, pineapple and tomato.
