Zesty Lime Shrimp Skewers

Oh, the shrimp are so good with that kind of charred pineapple

Action! Hey, I'm so glad y'all have dropped in here on us on Paula D. Network

Me too! That's awesome. Yes, sir, buddy. We have been doing tailgating recipes all day today

And now we're going to do some zesty lime shrimp skewers for the grill

All right. Sounds awesome. Jamie, if you would give me some about one-inch chunks of pineapple, son

Bobby, if you would give me one-inch squares of red bell pepper

Okay. And onion. And I'm going to come down here, and I'm going to make the marinade for them

I'm going to measure up about a third of a cup of vegetable oil

Pour it right in here in our dish. I'm going to add a couple of, I'm just going to eyeball a couple of tablespoons of rice wine vinegar

A little pepper, a little salt, a fourth of a teaspoon of red chili pepper seed, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and now I'm going to juice two limes

Hence, zesty lime shrimp skewers. So clever. Isn't that clever? It is clever

Hey, do y'all have pineapple trees at your house yet? No, I don't, son

Yeah, do we have pineapple trees at our house yet? Well, Randy. Is somebody coming around to install them

Randy has some at the fruit stand. Does he really? Yeah, and I planted one last year and actually grew a pineapple at the house

Well, you know, Jamie, all you have to do, all you have to do is cut this off and stick this in some dirt, and they say it'll grow

Yeah, that's right. It will actually grow. I tried that I didn have any luck That not true Grandma Paul Yeah I think so That true Grandma Paul used to plant them all the time This is basically all it is and then a pineapple will come out of here Wow It weird I didn know that

All right. Now, we're going to dump our shrimp in here. We've had these in the cooler

You want to be very, very careful with seafood, y'all. You want to keep it very well chilled

In fact, we had this bowl of shrimp sitting also in a bowl of ice

Now, we're going to marinate this for 10 or 15 minutes. When you're dealing with a very soft, fleshy meat, like seafood

you don't want to marinate it for very long because it will become mushy on you

All right. A little pineapple, a little shrimp, a little pepper, a little onion, another little shrimps

So we're gonna grill these for, you know, it depends on if you're grilling them over a hot, real fire outside

or if you're grilling them like this. Your time's gonna vary. The only thing that you really have to be concerned with cooking is the shrimp

I mean, everything else is just raw veg and fruit. That's exactly right. As long as you get the shrimp done, you're good to go

Depending on how hot your fire is, I think less than 10 minutes. You know, you're gonna have to make that call

I got a caramelized pineapple. Mm. Oh, my gosh. That's good. That is good

This is wonderful over a plate of nice, lightly buttered rice. Some jasmine rice

This is good enough for a meal. It's great, Eakin. It is a meal

And it's perfect for a tailgate. If you like this recipe, you can get this and a lot of other recipes right here on the Paula Dine Network
