BBQ SHRIMP ON PINEAPPLE PLANKS

Steps:

• Soak 8 6-8 inch wooden skewers in enough water to cover for 30 minutes.
• This will prevent your skewers from burning, however, if you have them metal skewers may also be used.
• Also, defrost shrimp, if needed.
• Cut pineapple lengthwise into 1/2" thick slices.
• Chop some of the pineapple until it measures 1/2 cup and set aside for relish.
• Halve each pineapple slice crosswise to equal 8 pineapple planks.
• Use 1 tbs of your melted butter and brush the planks on both sides, then set aside.
• Peel and devein shrimp, if needed.
• (You may want to save the shells for recipe#61197"Shrimp Stock" if desired.) In a medium bowl mix barbecue sauce, chipotles, garlic and the remaining 2 Tbsp of melted butter.
• Stir in shrimp.
• Cover and let sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• Remove shrimp, discard marinade.
• Thread 1 jumbo or 3 large on each skewer, set aside.
• For relish: combine reserved 1/2 cup chopped pineapple, the chopped cucumber, chopped jicama, lime/lemon juice and 1/4 tsp salt.
• Cover and set aside until serving time.
• Grill shrimp kabobs and pineapple planks on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals.
• Grill until shrimp are opaque and pineapple is heated through, turning once through grilling time.
• Allow 10-12 min for jumbo shrink, 6-10 minutes for large shrimp and 6-8 minutes for pineapple planks.
• If desired, brush each kabob with additional barbecue sauce during last 1 minute of grilling.
• Alternately, cook under a hot broiler on a rack.
• To serve, stir chopped cilantro into relish.
• Place pineapple planks onto serving platter.
• Spoon some of the relish over the planks and then top each with a shrimp skewer.
