Scale
For the Skewers:
- 18 large shrimp, peeled & deveined (21-30 count or larger)
- 12 fresh pineapple pieces, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 6 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
For the Marinade:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Lay out the shrimp and pineapple on a cutting board. Thread the pineapple and shrimp on the skewers.
- In a large and strong zipper plastic bag, mix the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and pepper. Add the skewers into the bag, being careful not to puncture it. Mix the marinade around the pineapple and shrimp.
- Allow the bag to marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes. Do not marinate for longer as it can break down the shrimp.
- Heat the grill to medium heat. Remove the kabobs from the bag and grill for 5-8 minutes or until shrimp start to curl and turn pink. Flip once during cooking. Do not overcook!
Notes
- Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
- Feel free to customize the marinade with additional spices or herbs for extra flavor.
