Spicy Pineapple and Shrimp Skewers
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Ingredients:
1 lb large shrimp
1 1/2 c pineapple chunks, either fresh or canned
1 red onion, chopped into chunks
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
2/3 c pineapple juice
3 T lemon juice
3 T lime juice
1 T minced ginger
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
2 T soy sauce
3 T honey
3 T chopped cilantro
8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
Chop all the vegetables. Skewer the shrimp alternating with the pineapple, onion, and green pepper. In a small saucepan combine pineapple, lemon and lime juices with the ginger, jalapeno, soy sauce, and honey. Heat mixture over medium high heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Brush or drizzle the kabobs with the pineapple glaze. Cook off in a hot cast iron grill pan or over an outdoor grill. Grill for 3 minutes per side and brush occasionally with the glaze. Serve over rice, and add chopped cilantro then.
