  1. For instructions on how to buy and prepare fresh pineapple, see my: How to Cut a Pineapple.

  2. If using wooden skewers, place them in a little water in your sink to soak (prevents burning).

  3. Place shrimp, pineapple chunks, and cherry tomatoes in a mixing bowl. For the onion slices, separate the individual layers of the onion and add to the bowl.

  4. Mix the marinade/dipping sauce ingredients together in a sauce pan. Pour 1/2 the marinade/sauce over the shrimp and other ingredients in the mixing bowl. Reserve the remaining half in the sauce pan for use later.

  5. Toss the shrimp, pineapple, tomatoes and onion together with the marinade until everything is well saturated. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes while warm up the grill (avoid marinating the shrimp longer than 15 minutes).

  6. Thread the shrimp, pineapple, tomato and onion onto the skewers (see picture). Place the finished skewers on a plate. Reserve the remaining marinade at the bottom of the bowl for basting.

  7. Grilled the brochettes for approx.

  8. minutes each side, or until the shrimp are pink, plump, and juicy. Baste the brochettes with leftover marinade from the bowl once each side while cooking.

  9. Warm up the reserved sauce - avoid boiling it. Do a taste-test for a balance of tangy and sweet (you may want to add a little more sugar). If not spicy enough, add a little more chili. (Note: The sauce will taste strong on its own, but will be excellent when spooned over the brochettes.)

  10. Serve with rice, or for an extra special treat, try it with my Easy Coconut Rice . Enjoy!
