Instructions
Submerge the skewers in water while prepping other ingredients
Heat 2 of the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, honey, garlic, and soy sauce over medium heat.
Stir until well combined, bring to a slight boil, and then allow to simmer for 4-5 mins until thick- ened.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
Place the shrimp and pineapple pieces, alternating them on the skewers. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Brush the sauce on both sides of the skewers
In a large pan melt 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Sear the skewers for 3-4 mins per side, brushing sauce on the skewers as it cools. Skewers are ready when the shrimp is pink and not opaque.
Notes
Wooden Skewers:
If you are using wooden skewers, soak the skewers for 20-25 mins for best results.
Brine:
Soak the shrimp in salted water with a little baking soda. This will make the shrimp plump and tender.
Milk:
Soaking shrimp in milk will allow that fishy taste to come out. so if you hate that flavor try this.
Rubbery:
Shrimp is done when it turns that slight pink color. remove them immediately from heat to prevent that rubbery texture.
Alternate cooking method tip:
These skewers are wonderful on the grill.
Cooking Tip:
Do not overcrowd the pan. give them room for the heat to distribute evenly.
