ISLAND SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS WITH RUM BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine lime juice, oil, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and pineapple chunks, toss to combine. Let marinade while grill heats up, about 15 minutes.
• Prepare grill with medium coals.
• Wrap shrimp with prosciutto. Alternately thread the pineapple chunks and the wrapped shrimp onto skewers (about 4 per skewer).
• Grill until shrimp are cooked and the pineapple chunks are brown around the edges.
• Make the sauce in a medium sauce pan by combining the rum, shallots, ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduces to 3 tablespoons in volume.
• With heat on low, whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of the spoon. Be careful to not allow it to get too hot and allow the sauce to break down.
• Season with salt and cayenne, stir and remove from heat.
• To serve: transfer shrimp and pineapple from the skewers to a platter. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with rum butter sauce.

SHRIMP-PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a roasting rack in a large baking pan.
• To make the marinade, pour the teriyaki sauce in a bowl and then throw in the ginger, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt, garlic, green onions and lemon juice. Stir it around and set it aside.
• Next, cut the pineapple into chunks by lopping off the top, slicing off the rind, cutting the pineapple into wedges, slicing off the hard inner core and then cutting the slices into chunks. Store half the chunks in the fridge for snacking.
• Place a chunk of pineapple on top of a shrimp and then wrap the whole thing in one of the half-slices of bacon. Stick a skewer through the whole thing so that it holds the pineapple, shrimp and bacon securely, and lay it on the rack in the pan. Continue with the remaining ingredients. Brush each skewer generously with some of the marinade.
• Roast the skewers for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush with a second coat of marinade. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the bacon is sizzling and the shrimp is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Serve them hot or at room temperature. Divine!
