France C Recipe + Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers

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.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 pound jumbo shrimp
• ½ fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• skewers
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Cooking Directions

1. Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers and place on a platter.
3. Arrange skewers on the hot grate. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. Turn grill to low heat and brush sauce on both sides of skewers. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.
