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:
- Use fresh, ripe pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a sweeter and more vibrant flavor than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
- Toast the coconut flakes: Toasting the coconut flakes will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
- Use a grill pan or outdoor grill: A grill pan or outdoor grill will give the shrimp a nice smoky flavor. If you're using an outdoor grill, be sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the shrimp.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they're opaque and pink.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled coconut shrimp is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy. You can serve it with pineapple salsa, rice, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled coconut shrimp with pineapple salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout or party. The shrimp is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple salsa is a refreshing and tangy complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
