Ingredients

Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers

  • 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. jumbo raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • fresh pineapple cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1" cubes
  • 1/2 red onion cut into 1" cubes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Gluten-Free Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 cup O Organics Coconut Aminos
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic minced or grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced or grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

TERIYAKI SAUCE

  • Start by preparing the sauce in a small saucepan.  Combine the coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger and sriracha.   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool.  It will thicken as it cools.   We will use the teriyaki sauce to glaze the skewers, rather than as a marinade.

SHRIMP & PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and shrimp to be skewered.
  • When preparing kebobs, it's important to cut all your fruits and veggies in equal pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Layer the shrimp, pineapple, red bell pepper and 2 slices of red onion on the skewers and repeat.  Season the shrimp and veggies with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray before grilling.
  • Heat the grill to 400° - 425° high heat and oil the grates with olive oil so that the shrimp doesn't stick.   I use a paper towel doused in olive oil that I hold with tongs to oil the grates.
  • Place the skewers on the grill and brush the tops with teriyaki sauce.  Cook for 3 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn until the shrimp is bright pink.
  • Remove from the grill and serve with rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice with the remaining sauce on the side.
