Grilled Drunken Pina Colada Shrimp image

Easier than you can even imagine and full of the taste of the islands. Great with my Pineapple Wasabi Aioli (#272187). Prep time includes the 30 minute marinating time. Great as a meal with greens, veggies and rice or as finger food/appetizers.

Time 44m

Yield 3 servings of 4, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 jumbo shrimp, peeled, tail left on
1 cup pina colada nonalcoholic drink mix (I use Mr. T's or Trader Vic's)
1/4 cup Meyer's dark rum

Steps:

  • Peel the shrimp (the really big ones don't have the vein!).
  • Mix the pina with the rum.
  • Pour over shrimp, reserving a small amount for the grilling process.
  • Marinate for no longer than 30 minutes or the acids will turn it into ceveche.
  • Grill for approximately 2 minutes each side, brushing each side with mix.
  • Serve with the above mentioned aioli or your favorite tropical/sweet sauce.
