Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a roasting rack in a large baking pan.
- To make the marinade, pour the teriyaki sauce in a bowl and then throw in the ginger, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt, garlic, green onions and lemon juice. Stir it around and set it aside.
- Next, cut the pineapple into chunks by lopping off the top, slicing off the rind, cutting the pineapple into wedges, slicing off the hard inner core and then cutting the slices into chunks. Store half the chunks in the fridge for snacking.
- Place a chunk of pineapple on top of a shrimp and then wrap the whole thing in one of the half-slices of bacon. Stick a skewer through the whole thing so that it holds the pineapple, shrimp and bacon securely, and lay it on the rack in the pan. Continue with the remaining ingredients. Brush each skewer generously with some of the marinade.
- Roast the skewers for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush with a second coat of marinade. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the bacon is sizzling and the shrimp is cooked, about 15 minutes.
- Serve them hot or at room temperature. Divine!

PINEAPPLE-GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS
From chow.com; posted for ZWT 5. "With a flavor that's somewhere between Asian and Caribbean, these skewers are hard to label but easy to make and tasty enough that they'll be a hit with the whole family. **NOTE: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes beforehand, so they don't burn on the grill. **Note: There's just a touch of heat in the glaze from cayenne pepper. If you're up for it, you can get the party started by adding a little extra." -- This could also be made with chicken, or for something special, use sugarcane skewers.

Steps:
- Combine 2 cups of the pineapple, the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic in a blender and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Skim off any foam and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer until glaze is thick and syrupy enough to coat the back of a spoon and has reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in cayenne and set aside to cool slightly, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a gas or charcoal grill to high (about 400°F) or a grill pan over high heat until very hot.
- Skewer 1 shrimp, making sure to pass the skewer through the thick portion and the tail portion, then skewer 1 piece of the remaining pineapple. Repeat, alternating between the two and leaving a space in between, until you have 3 shrimp and 2 pineapple pieces per skewer. Brush skewers on one side with glaze.
- Rub the grill with a towel dipped in vegetable oil, place the skewers on the grill glaze side down, and brush the other side of the skewers with more glaze.
- Continue brushing and turning every few minutes until the thick portions of the shrimp are white and firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp for best results. Avoid pre-cooked or frozen shrimp as they can be tough and rubbery.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs enhances its taste and keeps it moist during cooking.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it as it can become tough and chewy. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side until it turns opaque and pink.
- Use high-quality pineapple: Fresh, ripe pineapple is essential for this recipe. Avoid canned or frozen pineapple as it can be mushy and lacks flavor.
- Skewers: Use wooden or metal skewers for this recipe. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Conclusion:
These Caribbean Pineapple Shrimp Skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pineapple, savory shrimp, and aromatic spices creates a tantalizing flavor that will impress your guests.
