Ingredients
- •Coconut Milk, Light, Canned(120g)
- •4 teaspoons Tabasco Original Red Sauce (or hot sauce of choice)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(10g)
- •Orange Juice, Fresh(60g)
- •Lime Juice, Fresh(60g)
- •Shrimp(454g)
- •Pineapple(340g)
- •Canola oil
- •Freshly chopped cilantro and/or green onion (for serving)
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, orange juice, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- 2While the shrimp marinates, cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks. If using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
- 3Remove the shrimp from the marinade and reserve the liquid in a small bowl. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, alternating with pineapple chunks until all ingredients are used.
- 4Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat the bottom with canola oil. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the skewers in the pan.
- 5Cook for 3–4 minutes without moving them, until the shrimp begin to turn opaque on the underside. Brush with reserved marinade and turn the skewers over.
- 6Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes over medium-high heat, brushing again with marinade, until the shrimp are fully opaque and firm to the touch with an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 7Transfer the hot skewers to a clean cutting board. Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm.
- 8Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes before serving.
