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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Use large shrimp for best results. Jumbo or extra-large shrimp will work well for this recipe. Smaller shrimp can be used, but they may not cook as evenly.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor and make them more tender.
- Skewer the shrimp tightly. This will help to prevent them from falling off the skewers while cooking.
- Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to cook them quickly and evenly.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and impressive dish that your guests will love.
