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 SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE AND MANGO

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Drizzle with olive oil and Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with lemon-pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Fold the sides up around the shrimp mix to make a packet. Flip upside-down onto another sheet of aluminum foil.
• Place the folded side of the foil packets down first on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes; flip so the folded side is up. Continue to cook until shrimp are pink and onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Pat the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, shallot, lemon zest, coriander, olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, then very gently toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) to marinate.
• Using a pair of 12-inch metal skewers, thread 6 of the shrimp on both the tail and "head" side, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each shrimp. You will end up with a total of 2 sets of skewered shrimp (6 per pair of skewers).
• Place the pineapple on a large plate and drizzle with the chili oil. Gently flip the spears around to thinly and evenly coat the pineapple all over.
• Grill the pineapple without moving the spears too much until nicely caramelized grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large serving platter and finish seasoning with a touch of salt.
• Grill the skewered shrimp over direct heat until pink and just firm at the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes per side (they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so try not to leave them on the grill too long!). Carefully remove the shrimp from the hot skewers and arrange them over the grilled pineapple.
• Whisk the coconut milk and honey in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved. Drizzle over and around the shrimp and pineapple. Garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves and serve right away.
