Prep Time: 20

Cook Time: 6

soaking time if using wooden skewers: 30

Total Time: 30

Yield: 4 servings

Course: Dinner

Cuisine: Asian

Equipment

8 skewers metal or bamboo (8 small skewers or 4 long)

Ingredients

2 teaspoons sambal oelek (or sriracha)
2 teaspoons sesame oil (toasted )
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce ( or gluten-free tamari, plus more for serving)
1 pound extra large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 cups cubed pineapple
½ red onion (cut into chunks)
Oil spray
1 head butter lettuce leaves (for serving)
cooked white or brown rice (optional for serving)

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak at least 30 minutes.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Add the sambal, sesame oil, and soy sauce to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp, cubed pineapple, and red onion to the bowl and toss everything together to coat it in the sauce. Thread the shrimp, pineapple and red onion onto metal skewers and arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet lined in foil.
Lightly spray the kabobs with oil spray. Place them on the preheated grill in an even layer. Cook for 2 minutes per side, until the shrimp is cooked through and nice char marks have formed.
Remove the foil from the baking sheet and place the cooked kabobs on the clean baking sheet.
Serve with rice, butter lettuce leaves, and extra soy sauce.

Notes

Makes about 5 cups. You can serve this on kabobs or remove from the skewers.

Note: Don't let the shrimp marinade with the pineapple, it will break down the enzymes and make the shrimp mushy. It's best to grill right away.
