Cooking Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, and honey in a bowl to create a cohesive marinade. Prepare all vegetables: cut the pineapple into chunks, slice the bell peppers, and pat the shrimp dry.
- Place the shrimp in the marinade and toss gently. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade (reserve excess for basting) and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Thread the shrimp, pineapple, and peppers onto skewers.
- Preheat grill to 350-400°F. Lightly brush grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes without moving. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, basting with reserved marinade during the final minute.
- Transfer skewers to a platter and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve immediately for the best taste, especially while the pineapple is warm and juicy.
