Tropical shrimp and grilled pineapple skewers

Ingredients

  • 250g Norso Shrimp (Cooked, Headless, in Shell)

  • 1/2 fresh pineapple (or 1/2 can of pineapple in syrup, drained)

  • 1 red bell pepper

Marinade and Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon runny honey or maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

  • 1/2 lime (juice)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional:

  • Toasted sesame seeds for sprinkling and garnish

Recipe instructions

Preparing the shrimps

  1. Clean the shrimp. Cool, cooked, headless, unpeeled, Norso shrimp. Remove the shells and, if necessary, the thread. Pat dry.

  2. In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice.

  3. Drizzle the shrimp with 2/3 of the marinade and set aside for 5 minutes (not longer, as they are already cooked and the marinade could harden them).

Preparing vegetables and fruits

  1. Peel the pineapple and cut it into cubes with a side of about 2 cm.

  2. Wash the red pepper, remove the seeds and cut into similar cubes.

Assembling the skewers

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water (if using) to prevent them from burning.

  2. Alternately thread a piece of shrimp, bell pepper, and pineapple onto the skewers. Repeat this sequence 2-3 times.

Grilling

  1. Heat a grill pan or grill.

  2. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side. Since the shrimp are already cooked, the goal is to heat them through and add color.

  3. At the end of grilling, brush the skewers with the remaining marinade.

Serving

  1. Place the skewers on a plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

  2. Serve the remaining marinade (or separate Teriyaki/Sweet Chili Sauce) in a small bowl as a dip.

 

Chef's Tip: To make the skewers look like they're straight from the grill, use a grill pan. Before grilling, sprinkle the pineapple with a pinch of cinnamon to enhance its sweetness and aroma. Jasmine rice is the perfect accompaniment to this dish.
