Best Grilled Shrimp Tofu And Pineapple Salad Recipes

GRILLED PINEAPPLE & SHRIMP SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Add marinade ingredients to a large ziplock bag and mix together by scrunching the bag. Reserve 2 Tb. for brushing on shrimp while cooking. Add shrimp to bag, seal and refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Combine Dressing ingredients in a blender (for best emulsion) OR add ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined; set aside until ready to use. (Note: when ready to use, taste & adjust for seasoning).
• When ready to prepare salad, heat grill to high.
• Remove shrimp from marinade, place on skewers (about 3-4 each) and discard marinade.
• Lightly brush pineapple with vegetable oil and sprinkle with sugar. Then place shrimp skewers and pineapple onto hot grill.
• For shrimp, cook 1.5 - 2 minutes then flip and brush with reserved marinade and cook another 1.5 - 2 minutes then remove from heat. Allow the pineapple to lightly brown/caramelize for about the same time on the first side, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes so the pieces get warmed through and juicy (this takes a bit longer than the shrimp). Remove from heat.
• Place mixed greens (and any other veggies) in serving bowl. Cut pineapple into chunks and add to bowl. Remove shrimp from skewers and add to bowl. Add as much dressing as desired then toss to combine. Serve with crusty bread, or top with a little salty parmesan or feta.

GRILLED THAI-STYLE SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• For Dipping Sauce: Mix the water, fish sauce, lime juice, basil, sugar, vinegar, and chile in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For Shrimp: Dissolve the salt in 1 quart cold water in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag. Add the shrimp, press out as much air as possible from the bag, and seal. Let stand 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold running water. Open the back of the shells with manicure scissors and devein if desired. Toss the shrimp and oil in a medium bowl to coat.
• For Gas Grill: Turn on all the burners to high, close the lid, and heat the grill until very hot, about 15 minutes. Use a grill brush to scrape the cooking grate clean. Leave the burners on high.
• Thread the shrimp and pineapple on skewers. Grill the shrimp, covered, for gas grill, turning the skewers once, until the shells are barely charred and bright pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve immediately, passing the dipping sauce and the lime wedges.
• Skewering Shrimp with Pineapple: Thread the tail of the shrimp, then a chunk of pineapple, and finally the head of the shrimp onto a skewer, so that the shrimp forms a half-circle around the pineapple.
