Shrimp Kabobs
Pineapple shrimp kabobs with an easy citrus shrimp marinade. The best way to cook shrimp! You can make this easy recipe on your grill, oven, or stovetop.
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes
Total: 1 hour 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings (as an appetizer)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk*
- 4 teaspoons Tabasco Original Red Sauce or hot sauce of choice
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice from about 2 large limes
- 1 pound large shrimp 31-40 count, peeled and deveined (you can use fresh or frozen, thawed shrimp)
- ¾ pound pineapple chunks 1 inch-cut
- Canola oil for grilling
- Freshly chopped cilantro and/or green onion for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, Tabasco sauce, soy sauce, orange juice, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 1-2 hours, tossing occasionally. If using wooden skewers, soak in warm water while the shrimp marinates. Meanwhile, prepare the pineapple if needed.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and reserve the marinade for grilling. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, alternating with the pineapple.
- Lightly brush the grill with canola oil, then place the shrimp on the grill. Grill the shrimp for 3 minutes, brushing with the marinade, then turn and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, brushing with the marinade again, until the shrimp are just cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and garnish with cilantro and green onion. Serve hot.
