Best Grilled Shrimp With Pineapple Salsa Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Lightly brush the shrimp, corn, jalapeno, scallions and onion wedges with canola oil, sprinkle with salt and place on the grill. Cook the scallions and shrimp until charred and the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Cook the jalapeno and red onion until charred and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Cook the corn, rotating every 2 minutes, until charred and the kernels have turned bright yellow, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables and shrimp to a baking sheet and let cool.
• Cut the grilled shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl. Seed and finely chop the jalapeno; add to the bowl. Finely shop the scallions and red onion and cut the kernels from the corn; add all three to the bowl. Stir in the cucumber, lime zest and juice, paprika, coriander and cumin. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Before serving, fold in the cilantro and avocado. Serve with tortilla chips.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• If using wooden / bamboo skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes before grilling. This will prevent them from burning on the hot grill.
• Prep your grill. It's a good idea to use high heat (400 F or higher). The shrimp will be most tender and juicy if cooked very fast over very high heat.
• Make salsa: Combine pineapple, bell peppers, rice vinegar, cilantro and 1/4 tsp lime zest. Season the salsa with a pinch of salt and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Thread shrimp through skewers.
• Divide sweet chili sauce, placing 1/4 cup of sauce in each of two small bowls. Whisk in 1/8 tsp lime zest into each bowl. Set one bowl aside.
• Just before grilling, pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place shrimp skewers over the hottest part of the grill, turning them to get grill marks on both sides, until pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes total. In the last minute of cooking, use one bowl of sweet chili sauce to liberally brush both sides of the shrimp skewers. (The sauce should start to caramelize and blacken in spots on the hot grill, so watch closely to prevent burning.)
• When shrimp are cooked through, transfer to a serving platter and brush with the remaining bowl of sweet chili sauce.
• Serve shrimp and pineapple salsa over rice, other grains, or to top salads.

GRILLED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• For the pineapple salsa: Place the pineapple, jalapeño pepper and red pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
• Season to taste with lime juice and salt.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• (This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days).
• For the grilled shrimp: Combine the coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger and brown sugar in a shallow bowl.
• Add the shrimp, toss to coat the shrimp evenly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Remove the shrimp from the coconut mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper and place 5 shrimp on each skewer.
• Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the shrimp are just done, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• To serve, spoon some Basmati Rice on each plate, remove the shrimp from the skewer and top with the salsa.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve.

SPICY GRILLED SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Peel shrimp and devein. Set aside. In bowl combine lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Let sit for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in separate bowl combine pineapple, tomato, and onion and parsley. Drizzle on remaining oil and mix together. Remove shrimp from marinade and grill, broil or cook in cast iron pan until shrimp are pink. Plate and top with salsa.

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.
