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 😳

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  😝

Which is why I don’t post a lot of fish recipes…

BUT!

I LOVE shrimp  😍

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

Grill shrimp over medium hot coals 2-3 minutes per side, basting with sauce during the last few minutes

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  🍤  perfect for summer dining!
