Instructions

In separate bowls, mix the ingredients for your chosen marinade. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let it rest in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Thread the shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are opaque and lightly charred.
Brush with extra marinade during grilling if desired (except for marinades containing raw shrimp).
Serve hot with fresh herbs, lime wedges, or dipping sauces that complement your flavor theme.

Notes

Use metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning.
You can mix in red onion, bell pepper, or zucchini between the shrimp and pineapple for added color and flavor.
These skewers are perfect over rice, salads, or as an appetizer for summer parties.
