GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Pat the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, shallot, lemon zest, coriander, olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, then very gently toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) to marinate.
• Using a pair of 12-inch metal skewers, thread 6 of the shrimp on both the tail and "head" side, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each shrimp. You will end up with a total of 2 sets of skewered shrimp (6 per pair of skewers).
• Place the pineapple on a large plate and drizzle with the chili oil. Gently flip the spears around to thinly and evenly coat the pineapple all over.
• Grill the pineapple without moving the spears too much until nicely caramelized grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large serving platter and finish seasoning with a touch of salt.
• Grill the skewered shrimp over direct heat until pink and just firm at the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes per side (they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so try not to leave them on the grill too long!). Carefully remove the shrimp from the hot skewers and arrange them over the grilled pineapple.
• Whisk the coconut milk and honey in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved. Drizzle over and around the shrimp and pineapple. Garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves and serve right away.

KEY WEST RUM SHRIMP WITH COCONUT JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Marinade -- Mix the rum, citrus juice, olive oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in a large baggie and shake well to combine the flavors. Add the shrimp and marinade 2-3 hours. NO longer. The last 30 minutes add the pieces of onion and papaya.
• Skewer -- I like to use bamboo, but use anything you like. I don't find it necessary to soak the bamboo other than just a minute or two. The shrimp is so quick cooking, just a quick soak or rinse if fine for me. Alternate shrimp, papaya onion and just keep going. Don't over crowd the skewer. That way each item cook all the way through. Season with salt and pepper. Any leftover marinade I just reheat in the microwave and then use to brush on the skewers as they grill.
• Grilling -- After making your skewers, let them set and come to room temp before grilling. They can be grilled outside, charcoal or gas or can be done inside on a grill pan. NOW -- make the rice --
• Rice -- Bring the water, coconut and salt to a boil and add the rice. Most recipes will take about 15 minutes to cook covered. Just follow the recipe on the package. Each rice brand can take different times. Once light and fluffy add the cilantro and any salt and pepper is needed.
• Serve the skewers over the coconut rice. I love to serve this with simple sauteed sugar snap peas. A little butter, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. 3-4 minutes and serve. But use any veggie you enjoy. Bok Choy pan seared is also great with this.
