Ingredients

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, preferably natural
3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, more as needed
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch kosher salt, more as needed
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound cleaned large shrimp
2 cups pineapple chunks
Whole cilantro leaves and torn basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

In a food processor or blender, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, 3 tablespoons hot water, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sriracha and a pinch of salt. Purée until smooth. Add more lime juice and or salt to taste. Scrape into a bowl.
Heat oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and red-pepper flakes. Thread shrimp on skewers; brush all over with half the peanut oil mixture. Thread pineapple on separate skewers; brush with remaining oil mixture. Arrange shrimp and pineapple skewers on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Roast skewers, turning them halfway through, until shrimp is opaque, about 5 minutes, and pineapple is lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. (Use an oven mitt to remove shrimp skewers as they finish cooking but leave the pineapple in for longer). Sprinkle skewers with herbs and serve hot, with peanut sauce for dipping.

PINEAPPLE SHRIMP RICE BAKE

Pineapple Shrimp Rice Bake image

The first time I made this casserole, my son begged me to make it again soon. That was more than 20 years ago, and it's still a favorite among family and friends. When I serve it at a luncheon, I add a fruit salad and warm breadsticks.-Vi Manning, Spring Hill, Florida
