• 1 1/2 tsp paprika

Supplies Needed:

If you are grilling the sweet chili lime shrimp, preheat your grill to 350-400 degrees. If you are using your oven, that’s fine too! Same temperature will work!

Dice pineapple, and slice onions. 

Make Your Simple Marinade:

In a small bowl, combine the shrimp marinade ingredients:

• paprika,
• chili powder,
• lime juice,
• garlic,
• salt & pepper,
• olive oil,
• green onions, and honey

Mix well until ingredients are well combined.

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss. Be sure to hold onto the remaining marinade. 

Add your marinated shrimp and pineapple to your bamboo skewers, adding a slice of red onion between.

(If you decide to use wooden skewers, just be sure to soak them for about an hour so that the wood doesn’t burn while you are grilling)

Drizzle remaining marinade over skewers, and grate the zest of one lime over top.

Cook skewers on the grill grates on direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until raw shrimp have turned pink.

Garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro.

Serve immediately.

You can make some variations of your Skewers as well. Some ideas include:
