Recipe Box, Red Snapper & Sweet Chili Pineapple Grilled Shrimp
After posting photos of fresh red snapper I know you are expecting an amazing gourmet recipe
Well, here’s the thing…
I don’t have one š³
We just grill it with a little olive oil, salt & pepper and maybe some blackened seasoning or lemon
HHjr whipped up a tomato, onion and yellow pepper salsa for a festive touch
Confession time…
I don’t like fish š
Which is why I don’t post a lot of fish recipes…
BUT!
I LOVE shrimp š
Check out this easy peasy recipe for grilled shrimp adapted from Closet Cooking
Make a quick basting sauce with coconut cream, pineapple tidbits and sweet chili sauce
Skewer peeled and deveined shrimp and season with salt and pepper

You could also broil the shrimp or saute them in a skillet, adding the sauce near the end to coat. Be careful not to overcook shrimp or it will become rubbery
It’s sweet, tangy, light and bright š¤ perfect for summer dining!

So much yumminess!!!
Oh, yes! I’m giving this recipe to my husband. He’s the griller in our family. We both love shrimp, so this is going to be great! Thank you so much for sharing it!
The sunglass-clip napkin holder is to die for! So very cute!
Printing the recipe now! OOH….everything looks so good. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Jenna, I gasped when I read you don’t like fish and you are on the Gulf Coast with that beautiful snapper. You see, my hubs is just like you, doesn’t like fish but loves shrimp! I like all fish as long as it is cooked, don’t do the raw stuff! I am saving the shrimp recipe, looks delicious!
I know, I wish I did, but I do enjoy watching others enjoy, and catch and all the things that go with fish- I love to paint them too! Iām really not much of a meat eater, veggies and salads are my thing. Thanks Pam, the shrimp couldnāt be easier and itās delicious, just the right amount of kick and sweet >
I do like fish, but I like shrimp much better, and these skewers not only look cute, but delicious.
Thanks Pattie, easy peasy good! >
Jenna, Pass me your portion of that snapper! It looks delicious to me and I love fish and shrimp! The salsa looks good too, and this is my kind of cooking–easy and delicious. Linda
Iāll trade you some snapper for a lobster, we just canāt get decent lobster and I am always envying my New England buddies! >
Jenna, That fresh snapper looks too good to pass up! I’m lovin’ the little fishermen too, have they learned to eat fish? The shrimp skewers sound wonderful too with your a little Caribbean-inspired marinade. š
This looks dee-licious! I like fish and shrimp, although it took me well into adulthood to learn to eat it any way other than fried! Well, I did grow up in the South you know. I remember when my Daddy used to go Deep Sea Fishing occasionally (that’s what he called it) and would bring back red snapper. Usually our fish was catfish, crappie, bream and bass. My mother refused to clean them, but she would cook it, and it was so good. I don’t think I have ever tasted fish since then that was so good. She wouldn’t do shrimp because she claimed a shellfish allergy, so it wasn’t till I was a grownup that I ever had any! I will be saving your recipe because it looks fantastic.
Thanks Ellen, I’ll try to bring you some snapper!
I’m with you when it comes to fish. Lovin’ the sound of that sauce with chicken though:@)
Your shrimp looks scrumptious and I think you prepared the snapper in a perfect way, simple and fresh is all that matters with fish.
Oh goodness, such yummy happiness and cuteness too.
Love your little fisherman and Caribbean infused salsa and of course the fish and shrimp too!
Thank you for sharing this super post with us at TOHOT!

I love coconut shrimp, so this sounds delish, too! I adore that you used those little sunglasses to rest the flatware on! So cute!
