Shrimp & Pineapple Jerk Kabobs

1 lb Fresh Shrimp (shelled and deveined) or Chicken
1/2 Fresh Pineapple
2 tbs Jerk Seasoning*
2 tbs Canola Oil
2 tsp Spicy Asian Chili Sauce or Oil†

*Jerk seasoning has over 15 spice ingredients so I always use Penzey's to keep it simple
†This has a slight kick to it so use 1 tsp if you prefer mild

This recipe is intended to go with the Carribean Rice side dish posted below. Click Here. (1.) Combine shrimp, jerk seasoning, canola oil and chili sauce or oil in a large plastic bag and allow to rest in refrigerator for at least 4 hours but better if overnight. (2.) Chop pineapple into chunks the same thickness as the shrimp. (3.) Add marinated shrimp and pineapple to skewers alternating as you go. Grill them on high for 2-3 minutes per side (until shrimp are completely cooked).

Jerkalishydoo!

  1. Umm... looks good Jill! We're going to have to try this one! I'll bet it would be good with chicken too. I wonder if we substituted virgin coconut oil for the canola oil if that would work. We've read many times that coconut oil is very good for your health. We use it a lot, and it is also delicious, especially with tropical dishes.
