Ingredients
- •Unsalted Butter(45g)
- •Honey(60g)
- •Garlic(15g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(30g)
- •Lemon Juice, Fresh(15g)
- •Shrimp(454g)
- •1 pinch salt (to taste)
- •1 Pinch Cracked Pepper (To Taste, Optional)
- •Pineapple(240g)
- •Lemon
- •Parsley, Fresh(30g)
Instructions
- 1Soak the wooden skewers for at least 20 minutes before cooking. Once soaked, arrange shrimp onto skewers, alternating with pineapple pieces.
- 2In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the honey, garlic and soy sauce together. Stir until combined well and allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until beginning to thicken into a syrup. Take off the heat and stir in lemon juice.
- 3Season shrimp with a pinch of salt and a small amount of cracked pepper (optional) Using a brush, coat the honey garlic butter sauce on both sides of each shrimp skewer. Heat the remaining butter in a large pan or skillet (or grill pan) over medium heat. Working in batches of three or four, sear the skewers for 3-4 minutes on one side, while pouring a small amount of sauce over each shrimp while cooking; flip over and cook on the other side (pouring a little more sauce over the shrimp while cooking), for a further 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp is completely cooked through and no longer opaque.
- 4Remove from pan and serve immediately with any remaining sauce to use for dipping! Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
