Shrimp Kebabs with Pineapple & Peppers

Makes 5 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp (16-20 count), shelled and deveined
  • 1/3 cup lite teriyaki sauce
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

  1. Combine the shrimp, teriyaki sauce, and bell peppers in a large bowl and let stand about 30 minutes.
  2. Thread the shrimp (through the tail and front), pineapple, and bell peppers onto 10 wooden or metal skewers. Leave a small space between the shrimp and the pineapple (if they touch, the acid in the pineapple will break down the protein in the shrimp, making them mushy).
  3. Preheat the grill on high and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Lower the heat to medium-high and then grill the kebabs until the shrimp is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
