Steps:
- For the shrimp: Preheat the grill or the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare the pineapple and sauce. Slice the pineapple in half. Slice the core out of the center and discard. Cut out the flesh, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around. Finely chop two-thirds of the pineapple flesh and set aside in a bowl. Add the remaining pineapple flesh to a blender along with the BBQ sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then blend until smooth.
- Prepare the shrimp. Add the shrimp to an aluminum foil pouch (or create a pouch with aluminum foil), then sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour the pineapple BBQ sauce over the top. Close the pouch and place over the direct heat of the grill, or on the bottom rack of the oven. Cook until a quick peek inside reveals opaque shrimp, 10 to 12 minutes.
- For the rice: In the bowl with the reserved chopped pineapple, add the rice, cilantro, scallions, zest and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- To serve: Divide and fill both halves of the pineapple with the rice. Remove the shrimp from the pouch and top both pineapple halves equally. Pour the juices from the pouch over everything. Top with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges for spritzing.
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:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Heat oil over medium to medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet until hot. Add onion and cook until it begins to caramelize and become tender, 3 to 5 minutes; reduce the temperature if it's cooking too quickly. Add chipotle pepper in adobo, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Reduce heat if needed and stir for 1 more minute until seasonings are fragrant.
- Add tomato sauce, pineapple chunks, 1 tablespoon pineapple juice, and spinach. Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Adjust other seasonings to your preference.
- Spread 1/2 to 1 cup of the sauce in a thin layer all over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Add raw shrimp to the remaining sauce. Simmer until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes.
- Lay a tortilla on a baking sheet and fill with the pineapple-shrimp filling. Roll up carefully and set into the baking dish, seam-side down. Finish filling remaining tortillas and arranging in the baking dish, reserving about 3/4 cup of filling. Spread the remaining filling over the enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple is sweeter and juicier than canned pineapple.
- If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple. Just be sure to drain the pineapple well before using it.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the pineapple. This will help prevent the pineapple from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Serve the pineapple shrimp spread immediately. This spread is best when served fresh.
Conclusion:
Pineapple shrimp spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh pineapple, shrimp, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. This spread is sweet, tangy, and creamy, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
