Ingredients

1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium green bell peppers, cut into 16 (1 1/2-inch) pieces
12 or 16 shelled deveined uncooked large shrimp (about 1/2 lb.), tails removed
1 (8-oz.) can pineapple chunks in light syrup, drained

Steps:

Cook rice in water with salt as directed on package.
Meanwhile, heat gas or charcoal grill. Thread bell pepper, shrimp and pineapple onto four 8 to 10-inch metal skewers.
When grill is heated, place kabobs on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cover grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, brushing frequently with sweet-and-sour sauce.
