Easy Grilled Shrimp with Grilled Pineapple


This is a recipe I kind of created after experimenting with different marinades for grilled shrimp. It's one of Tim's favorites. I hope you enjoy!

  • 1 1/2 lbs. large jumbo shrimp, peeled and cleaned
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt & pepper
  • cooked rice
  • pineapple slices (see pineapple cutting post by clicking here)

Heat grill pan (or grill) over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray. Take cleaned shrimp and toss in medium-size bowl with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Skewer shrimp on skewers. Take pineapple slices and place on preheated grill pan. Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until pineapple shows grill marks and is a darker yellow in color. Remove pineapple and place shrimp into grill pan. Cook 4-5 minutes per side or until no longer clear. Serve shrimp over rice.

Clean-up tip: For easy clean-up of the grill pan, immediately rinse off pan with water, scrubbing if necessary. Otherwise, the food will cool and stick, making it nearly impossible to clean.
