PINEAPPLE-GLAZED SHRIMP SKEWERS



Pineapple-Glazed Shrimp Skewers image

From chow.com; posted for ZWT 5. "With a flavor that's somewhere between Asian and Caribbean, these skewers are hard to label but easy to make and tasty enough that they'll be a hit with the whole family. **NOTE: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes beforehand, so they don't burn on the grill. **Note: There's just a touch of heat in the glaze from cayenne pepper. If you're up for it, you can get the party started by adding a little extra." -- This could also be made with chicken, or for something special, use sugarcane skewers.

Categories     Pineapple

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 skewers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups pineapple, large dice (from 1 large pineapple, about 5 pounds)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 medium garlic cloves
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
36 extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact (about 2 pounds)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
12 (10 inch) wooden skewers (or metal)

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups of the pineapple, the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic in a blender and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Skim off any foam and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer until glaze is thick and syrupy enough to coat the back of a spoon and has reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in cayenne and set aside to cool slightly, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a gas or charcoal grill to high (about 400°F) or a grill pan over high heat until very hot.
  • Skewer 1 shrimp, making sure to pass the skewer through the thick portion and the tail portion, then skewer 1 piece of the remaining pineapple. Repeat, alternating between the two and leaving a space in between, until you have 3 shrimp and 2 pineapple pieces per skewer. Brush skewers on one side with glaze.
  • Rub the grill with a towel dipped in vegetable oil, place the skewers on the grill glaze side down, and brush the other side of the skewers with more glaze.
  • Continue brushing and turning every few minutes until the thick portions of the shrimp are white and firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

SHRIMP-PINEAPPLE SKEWERS



Shrimp-Pineapple Skewers image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 30 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup thick teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 dash kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 fresh pineapple
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound bacon, package sliced in half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a roasting rack in a large baking pan.
  • To make the marinade, pour the teriyaki sauce in a bowl and then throw in the ginger, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt, garlic, green onions and lemon juice. Stir it around and set it aside.
  • Next, cut the pineapple into chunks by lopping off the top, slicing off the rind, cutting the pineapple into wedges, slicing off the hard inner core and then cutting the slices into chunks. Store half the chunks in the fridge for snacking.
  • Place a chunk of pineapple on top of a shrimp and then wrap the whole thing in one of the half-slices of bacon. Stick a skewer through the whole thing so that it holds the pineapple, shrimp and bacon securely, and lay it on the rack in the pan. Continue with the remaining ingredients. Brush each skewer generously with some of the marinade.
  • Roast the skewers for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush with a second coat of marinade. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the bacon is sizzling and the shrimp is cooked, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve them hot or at room temperature. Divine!

ISLAND SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS WITH RUM BUTTER SAUCE



Island Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers with Rum Butter Sauce image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root, plus 2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
16 medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/3 pound sliced prosciutto
1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/2 cup dark rum
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks or 12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • In a bowl, combine the lime juice, oil, 2 teaspoons of the ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and pineapple chunks, toss to combine, and let marinate while the grill heats, about 15 minutes. Remove from the marinade.
  • Wrap the shrimp with the prosciutto. Alternately, thread the pineapple chunks and the wrapped shrimp onto metal or bamboo skewers. Grill until the shrimp are cooked through and the pineapple chunks are marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill. (Alternately, the skewers can be cooked under the broiler, turning as necessary to cook evenly and avoid burning.)
  • Make the sauce in a medium saucepan by combining the rum, shallots, and remaining 2 teaspoons of minced ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to 3 tablespoons in volume, 3 to 4 minutes. With the heat on medium-low, whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, removing the pan from the heat periodically to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking. Season with the salt and cayenne, and stir. Remove from the heat and transfer to a decorative bowl.
  • To serve, transfer the wrapped shrimp and pineapple chunks from the skewers to a platter. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with the rum butter sauce.
