2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the jerk seasoning: combine all the spices. Store in a jar or resealable bag for later use.
Heat a grill or a grill pan to medium high.
Thread the shrimp, pineapple and red pepper onto skewers.
Brush the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle 2-3 teaspoons of jerk seasoning over the skewers - be sure to season both sides.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Broiler instructions: Place the skewers on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through.
