Polynesian Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Cut 1-inch slice from top of pineapple, leaving green leaves on top; set aside. Remove fruit from pineapple, cutting around inside edge of rind and leaving 1/2-inch wall. Cut fruit from core; cut pineapple into bite-size pieces.
• Place 1 olive in curve of each shrimp; skewer together with plastic pick. Skewer pineapple pieces on picks. Attach picks of shrimp and pineapple to rind of pineapple in spiral design.
• Place cup or bowl in rim of pineapple (such as a 6- or 10-ounce custard cup). In medium bowl, mix sour cream, curry powder and salt; spoon into cup. Cover with pineapple top. Arrange any remaining skewers around pineapple. Serve immediately, or cover completely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.
