  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Thread shrimp and pineapple onto skewers, alternating between the two ingredients. Grill skewers for 2 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
