Description

These savory-sweet shrimp skewers are easy to make and cook in just a few minutes. They are perfect for summer weeknights or weekend dinner parties. Prep the sauce ahead of time for an even faster dinner. I prefer to use jumbo shrimp (21-25 per pound), however use what you have on hand.

  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon honey

  7. 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers and place on a platter.
