Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple Glaze | Quick and Easy

This grilled shrimp with homemade pineapple glaze is quick and easy like so many recipes on this blog. The sweetness of pineapple along with the goodness of shrimp makes the ultimate combination.

Grilled shrimp with pineapple glaze is one of the favorites in our house. Nivaan and Agnel’s love for Shrimp is mind-boggling. Grown-ups love for seafood, I can understand. It’s when Nivaan wants to order lobster, squids, and calamari from a restaurant menu instead of the classic pepperoni pizza and chicken nuggets, I am taken back by surprise. In a way, I am happy that he prefers something different from the same old chicken nuggets. Sometimes it surprises the servers too :).

One of his other favorites is the Shrimp Teriyaki noodles with homemade teriyaki sauce. I have also shared how to get restaurant-style plump shrimp when making shrimp recipes.

If you are looking for Indian style shrimp recipe, then you will love the crispy shrimp and the shrimp masala.

Also, the crispy batter coated calamari is irresistible.

My favorite is one of the most popular recipes on the blog, Shrimp Tacos, with cilantro garlic mayo.

Pineapple grilled shrimp

The tropical flavors of shrimp and pineapple are the ultimate combination. You cannot go wrong with pineapple and shrimp. It is like a match made in heaven, and this recipe will take less than 30 minutes to make. You can also make the sauce a day in advance, or the morning if you plan to grill in the evening.

Since shrimp | prawns cook quickly and take only 3-4 minutes on each side, it is one of the best recipes to have handy for the busy weeknights or weekends.

To make it taste even better, keep brushing the marinade in between so that more flavor gets absorbed into the shrimp. I used a stovetop grill pan, which makes life so much easier. It’s perfect for grilling sandwiches, chicken, vegetables, you name it. It’s a must-have if you like the charred look and flavor and if you are looking for something for your everyday needs.

Sprinkle some sesame seeds and cilantro leaves for some added beauty.
