GRILLED FISH ON PINEAPPLE PLANKS WITH SPICY PINEAPPLE SALSA
This elegant yet incredibly easy preparation uses almost all the parts of a pineapple to yield tasty fillets of bass or snapper. The pineapple's peel acts as a buffer against the direct heat of the grill, preventing overcooking and keeping the fish moist, and its flesh becomes a tasty salsa that brings home the island flavors. The plating of the fish, right on the pineapple "planks," is dramatic and fun.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut the top from the pineapple and discard. Cut the sides off to make 4 flat planks. Finely dice the pineapple flesh (discard the core) and put it in a medium bowl.
- Finely grate the ginger and add half to the bowl with the pineapple; reserve the rest. Add the cilantro, oil, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice and onion to the diced pineapple. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then toss well and refrigerate while you make the fish.
- Stir the soy sauce and honey together with the remaining ginger in a small bowl. Brush the fish with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush the tops (the flesh side) of the pineapple planks with some of the soy sauce mixture and place the fish fillets on top of the planks. Brush the remaining soy sauce mixture on the tops of the fillets, folding the thinner part of the fillets under if needed to fit on the plank.
- Place the pineapple planks on the grill, cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the fish on the planks topped with some of the salsa. Serve the remaining salsa on the side or reserve to serve with chips.
GRILLED TERIYAKI SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS
These savory-sweet shrimp skewers are easy to make and cook in just a few minutes. They are perfect for summer weeknights or weekend dinner parties. Prep the sauce ahead of time for an even faster dinner. I prefer to use jumbo shrimp (21-25 per pound), however use what you have on hand.

BBQ SHRIMP ON PINEAPPLE PLANKS
Grilled slabs of pineapple topped with a simple relish and chipotle-glazed shrimp in each bite creates an amazing flavor combination. Sweet, juicy pineapple is key, using an unripe or flavorless pineapple makes this recipe a wasted effort. The recipe indicates 8 appetizer servings but we use the large (24 count) size and serve it as dinner along with a rice pilaf for 4. I can't recall what magazine I clipped this from but it is the best shrimp I have ever tasted and it is a huge wow with any guests we have served it to.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND SHRIMP
One day I was reading some Internet memes about putting pineapple on pizza and realized that in North America pineapple is rarely used in savory dishes. So, I ventured out to make a savory pineapple dish with flavors that I knew would work...plus my daughter wanted shrimp.

Steps:
- Heat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Pat the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, shallot, lemon zest, coriander, olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, then very gently toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) to marinate.
- Using a pair of 12-inch metal skewers, thread 6 of the shrimp on both the tail and "head" side, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each shrimp. You will end up with a total of 2 sets of skewered shrimp (6 per pair of skewers).
- Place the pineapple on a large plate and drizzle with the chili oil. Gently flip the spears around to thinly and evenly coat the pineapple all over.
- Grill the pineapple without moving the spears too much until nicely caramelized grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large serving platter and finish seasoning with a touch of salt.
- Grill the skewered shrimp over direct heat until pink and just firm at the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes per side (they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so try not to leave them on the grill too long!). Carefully remove the shrimp from the hot skewers and arrange them over the grilled pineapple.
- Whisk the coconut milk and honey in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved. Drizzle over and around the shrimp and pineapple. Garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves and serve right away.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Use large, fresh shrimp for best results.
- Prepare the pineapple planks: Soak the pineapple planks in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Season the shrimp: Use a flavorful marinade or rub to season the shrimp. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
- Grill the shrimp: Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough.
- Serve immediately: Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
BBQ shrimp on pineapple planks is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the pineapple planks add a sweet and smoky flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
