Ingredients

  • 9 large tiger shrimp de-veined raw with shell
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple cut into chunks
  • optional: Toasted coconut flakes for garnishing

Pina Colada marinade

  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice just use left over juice from cutting your pineapple
  • 1 tsp sambal I like this brand
  • zest and juice of 1/2 lime
  • pinch of sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl whisk in all of you ingredients except for the shrimp. Reserve a little bit for grilling later and then add shrimp, gentle mix to coat, cover and marinate for 30 min.
  • Using a bamboo skewer that has been soaked in water for at least an hour, start to thread shrimp and fruit onto the skewers alternating ingredients.
  • Turn on grill to medium high. Once grill is nice and hot, add kebabs and cook for about 4 min on each side until fully cooked.
  • Brush with a little of the reserved marinade onto the kebabs while cooking if you like to add some flavour and keep them from sticking to the grill.
