Grilled Pineapple Shrimp Skewers With Sweet Chili

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. 2

   Cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks, removing the core. Cut the red bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
3. 3

   Thread the marinated shrimp, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and onion alternately onto skewers. Leave small spaces between ingredients for even cooking. You should have about 8 skewers.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates and brush with oil to prevent sticking. The grill is ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grates for only 3-4 seconds.

5. 5

   Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once. Brush with sweet chili sauce during the last minute of cooking on each side. The shrimp should be pink and opaque when done.

6. 6

   Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Drizzle with any remaining sweet chili sauce and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
