GRILLED SHRIMP, TOFU AND PINEAPPLE SALAD
This was delicious and dh didn't even complain about the tofu -- not only that he loved it and had second and third helpings -- cooked this way and combined in this delish salad tofu takes on a different role in the salad. By the way as I was afraid that the shrimp would fall through the grill grates, I left the shrimp in a metal disposable pie dish and cooked it on the grill that way - the shrimp was delish and spicy!

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.

Steps:
- For dressing:
- Whisk lime juice, fish sauce, oil, and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir in shallots, chile, and mint.
- For salad:
- Toss shrimp with salt and pepper in bowl. Add pineapple, avocado, and dressing; toss to coat. Divide among plates, top with nuts, and garnish with lime wedges.
- Available in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets, at some specialty foods stores, and at Asian markets.
Tips:
- Use large shrimp. Jumbo or extra-large shrimp will hold up better to grilling and won't overcook as quickly.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse them with flavor and prevent them from drying out.
- Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Overcooking the shrimp will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with pineapple salsa. The salsa will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the shrimp.
Conclusion:
This grilled shrimp, tofu, and pineapple salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then grilled to perfection. The tofu is also grilled and then tossed with the pineapple salsa. The salad is a refreshing combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. It is a perfect meal for a hot summer day.
