Grilled Drunken Pina Colada Shrimp

Easier than you can even imagine and full of the taste of the islands. Great with my Pineapple Wasabi Aioli (#272187). Prep time includes the 30 minute marinating time. Great as a meal with greens, veggies and rice or as finger food/appetizers.

• Ready In: 44 mins
• Serves: 3
• Yields: 3 servings of 4

Ingredients

• 12  jumbo shrimp, peeled, tail left on
• 1  cup  pina colada nonalcoholic drink mix (I use Mr. T's or Trader Vic's)
• 1⁄4 cup Meyer's dark rum

Directions

1. Peel the shrimp (the really big ones don't have the vein!).
2. Mix the pina with the rum.
3. Pour over shrimp, reserving a small amount for the grilling process.
4. Marinate for no longer than 30 minutes or the acids will turn it into ceveche.
5. Grill for approximately 2 minutes each side, brushing each side with mix.
6. Serve with the above mentioned aioli or your favorite tropical/sweet sauce.
