Bahama Shrimp Skewers

Rum, shrimps, pineapple...Just a few of the great flavors in this dish that remind you of a relaxing Summer vacation in the Islands :) I often adjust one of my recipes ( Recipe #367464 ) that I posted a while ago. But since it doesn't really resemble the original anymore I thought I'd post it as a seperate recipe. I never really measure when I cook, so these measurements are only estimates. You have to adjust the amounts depending on how spicy or sweet you like your shrimps. I get the best results using fresh ginger and lime juice but bottled works too. (Cook time includes marinating time) The perfect side dish would be Recipe #382390

Sooo good!! Cut the recipe in half and omitted the red pepper (personal taste). Since my grill is buried in snow, I broiled these and reduced the marinade down on the stove top to make like a glaze that I basted the skewers with. Will try again when I can get to the grill; may also try with Malibu Rum (my favorite!) Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag February 2010.Reply
