PINEAPPLE HONEY GRILLED KEY WEST SHRIMP



Pineapple Honey Grilled Key West Shrimp image

My version of a recipe found online. I love grilled pineapple and this went great with my toasted coconut rice pilaf and spice rubbed grilled chicken! The shrimp was tender and juicy! If using wooden skewers make sure you soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes. You could add some crushed red pepper or hot sauce to the marinade for some kick:-0

I love grilled pineapple. This recipe combines the fruit's natural sweetness with the tart and spicy flavors of lime and chili powder. It's great for dessert and even as a side dish with ham or pork chops. -Geraldine Saucier, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Grilled Pineapple With Key Lime and Agave Nectar image

From Melissas.com with a few minor changes. It is certainly okay to substitute canned pineapple, just be sure the pineapple is packed in its own juice with no added sugar.

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons agave nectar (aka agave syrup)
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 key lime, zest and juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (original recipe specified 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, your choice)
1 firm ripe pineapple, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and cored (approximately 2 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon dark rum (optional, I used Captain Morgan Spiced Rum)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine agave nectar, grape seed oil, key lime juice plus the zest, either the nutmeg or cinnamon and the rum (if using).
  • Cut each pineapple half lengthwise into 4 long wedges. Cut each wedge in half crosswise. You will have sixteen pieces total.
  • Prepare grill (medium heat). Lightly brush pineapple with marinade and grill on a rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals.
  • Turn; brush other side with the marinade and grill until tender and golden, approximately 5 minutes each side. Note: due to the sugar content in the marinade, the pineapple could easily burn. Watch grilling process carefully.
  • Oven method: Pineapple may also be broiled by placing 4 inches below broiler in oven for about 10 minutes; turning occasionally until lightly browned. Brush with rum and sprinkle with lime peel. Serve hot or warm. Note: I used a grill pan so that the pineapple wedges would have the "grill marks".
