12 large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon dark Jamaican-style rum, such as Appleton

  • Wash the shrimp and place them in a large bowl. Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, rum, oil, sugar, and garlic in a second bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and habanero. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the shrimp to marinate while preheating the broiler. When ready, thread 1 pineapple chunk, 1 shrimp, then a second pineapple chunk on each skewer.
