16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1
inch chunks 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 1/4 tsp ground cardamom 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tbsp fish sauce 1 tbsp chopped cilantro Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with coconut oil, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated with the spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the pineapple chunks. Set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
Thread the shrimp and pineapple pieces onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp and pineapple.
Grill the skewers for 2 3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is cooked through and pink.
In a small bowl, mix together honey, lime juice, fish sauce, and chopped cilantro to create the dipping sauce.
Serve the skewers hot with the dipping sauce on the side for a delightful and sensory dining experience!
Chefβs Insight
To enhance the smoky flavor of the grilled shrimp, marinate them in a small amount of liquid smoke before grilling.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
