Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 medium shallot, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons ginger, freshly grated
24 extra-large shrimp ((U21-25 count), peeled and deveined, tails left intact)
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (, cut into 24 1 ½-inch cubes)
24 1-inch cubes of pineapple
24 zucchini slices, ½-inch thick
2 red bell peppers (, cut into 24 1-inch squares)
24 3-layer sections of red onion wedges
24 cherry tomatoes

Steps:

Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season marinade with salt and black pepper to taste. Makes about 1 ¼ cups. Set aside. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
On each skewer, thread 2 shrimp, 2 chicken cubes, 2 pineapple cubes, 2 zucchini slices, 2 bell pepper squares, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 2 red onion wedges in any pattern you like.
Place skewers on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Pour a third of the glaze over the skewers. (Can be prepped one day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
Coat grill grates with nonstick spray or vegetable oil and preheat grill over medium.
Grill skewers 4 minutes on one side then flip. Baste with another third of the glaze, keeping the remaining glaze separate for when serving.
Continue grilling skewers until shrimp are opaque in the center, and chicken is no longer pink, another 3-4 minutes. Let skewers rest a few minutes before serving.
Arrange skewers on platter. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh herbs and lime wedges, if desired. Serve with remaining glaze. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2/3 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
1 red onion, peeled and cut into chunks
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares

Steps:

Heat a cast-iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Combine the pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, ginger, jalapeno, soy sauce, honey and cilantro in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
Skewer the shrimp on 8 metal skewers or on 8 wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes, alternating with pieces of pineapple, onion and bell pepper.
Brush or drizzle the kebabs with the pineapple glaze. Grill until the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the glaze. Serve hot.
