Pineapple Lime Shrimp Skewers with Fruit Salsa

Dear Readers,

I hope you enjoy citrus and seafood. The other day I saw mangos, pineapple, and shrimp at Whole Foods. It inspired me to make a dish that is fresh and savory with a little hint of Asian flavors. Enjoy the recipe!

Recipe: serves 3 people (5 shrimp per person)
Ingredients

Marinade:
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, mined
1 cup pineapple juice
1 lime, juiced
3 tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb jumbo shrimp (15 pieces), washed, peeled, cleaned, tails on
1 tbsp sesame seeds
3 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Fruit Salsa: (Use on top of rice or shrimp)
1/2 tsp ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 cup red pepper
1 cup mango, diced
1/2 cup cilantro
1.5 limes, juiced
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tbsp water
Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp sesame seeds

Extra Ingredients:
All ready made white rice
Grilled peppers and onions

Directions

Add all the marinade ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the shrimp and set the bowl aside. Marinade for 30 minutes.

Next, add all the salsa ingredients to a serving bowl and mix well.

Put the grill on medium heat. Rub alittle canola oil on the grill to prevent sticking.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Put 5 shrimp on the skewers and arrange them on the hot grill and cook approximately 5 minutes on 1 side, then turn and grill for 5 minutes on the other side. When done, remove the skewers from the grill to a serving dish. Drizzle with some extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with pink salt and sesame seeds.



Serve with the salsa and enjoy! Also, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top on the salsa if you are using it on top of rice.
