Mixed Grilled Skewers

A quick and tasty recipe, the mixed grilled skewers with shrimp tails and fresh pineapple chunks, a preparation that can be an appetizer or a very delicious and slightly spiced main course!

These flavorful skewers with shellfish and pineapple are very simple to prepare, and to make them even more intriguing, I made a spicy sauce (with EVO oil, curry, paprika, turmeric, and 3 drops of Tabasco) which I brushed over the mixed grilled skewers before serving them at the table.

Before cooking them on the hot grill, I left the wooden skewers soaked in cold water for about 30 minutes to prevent the wood from scorching.

If you prefer non-spicy skewers, add some aromatic herbs like thyme and avoid the stronger spices…
You can also add to the sauce for brushing over the shrimp and pineapple skewers some grated fresh ginger pulp which gives that delicious and fresh lemon aroma…

If you prepare this quick recipe with pineapple and shellfish as an appetizer, use small skewers that can hold a maximum of 3 pieces of food.
