Pineapple- Glazed Shrimp Skewers

    Cuisine:

    The sweet, slightly charred glaze on such tender shrimp was really lovely. I felt that the pineapple on the skewers wasn't needed as the glaze added enough sweetness but it did make them look really lovely. Would be perfect to share with friends for a barbecue party!

    Pineapple-Glazed Shrimp Skewers,From chow.com; posted for ZWT 5. “With a flavor thats somewhere between Asian and Caribbean, these skewers are hard to label but easy to make and tasty enough that theyll be a hit with the whole family. **NOTE: If youre using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes beforehand, so they dont burn on the grill. **Note: Theres just a touch of heat in the glaze from cayenne pepper. If youre up for it, you can get the party started by adding a little extra.” — This could also be made with chicken, or for something special, use sugarcane skewers.,The sweet, slightly charred glaze on such tender shrimp was really lovely.
