Kickin Shrimp And Pineapple Flatbreads Food

COCONUT SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Remove meat from pineapple by running a knife along the skin to peel it, quartering the fruit lengthwise and then cutting close to the core of each piece to remove the flesh. Cut the meat into one-inch cubes.
• In small bowl whisk together curry paste and coconut milk. Set aside.
• Thread one shrimp and one pineapple chunk on to each skewer. Baste with curry sauce. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side until shrimp is opaque. Turn frequently and continue to brush with sauce.

KICKIN' SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside on the baking sheet. Leave the oven on.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• To a mixing bowl, add the shrimp, olive oil, honey, adobo, salt, chili powder, garlic, some pepper and half of the lime juice. Toss to combine. Saute the shrimp in the hot skillet until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Layer 3 ounces of the Monterey Jack on each flatbread, then divide the pineapple and shrimp between each. Top with a sprinkle of the remaining Monterey Jack. Bake until the cheese melts and begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the sour cream, cumin, avocado and remaining lime juice to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment or a blender. Process until smooth.
• Garnish the flatbreads with the feta, a generous drizzle of the avocado-cream mixture and the cilantro. Move the flatbreads to a cutting board, cut into wedges and enjoy.
