SWEET CHILI SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS:

• Preheat a grill over medium heat (350º-400ºF)
• Mix the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, cilantro and sea salt together in a medium bowl.
• Thread the shrimp, pineapple, red onions and peppers onto the skewers alternating the red and green peppers as you go. Use two shrimp per skewer with veggies in between and on the outside of each shrimp.

CHILI LIME GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

Marinate the shrimp for a minimum of 30 minutes (if using smaller shrimp, marinate for 15-20 minutes). Do not marinate longer than specified as the shrimp will cook in the acid from the lime juice like ceviche.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the shrimp from the bowl and thread onto the skewers, about 5-6 shrimp per skewer (you can fit more if they're smaller shrimp). Sprinkle the shrimp with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.
• Grill 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and nicely charred, and the tail and head come together. The shrimp cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them to ensure that they don't overcook. Remove from heat and serve with lime wedges and cilantro leaves if desired. Enjoy!
