Pineapple Shrimp Spread Food

PINEAPPLE SHRIMP SPREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Chill until serving. Serve with celery sticks and/or crackers.

PINEAPPLE SEAFOOD BOWLS

Steps:

• Set up the grill for direct cooking over medium heat and oil the grates.
• Skewer the shrimp, scallops, and cod on separate skewers and grill until just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Cut the pineapples in half. Scoop the flesh from each pineapple to create a bowl, leaving the bottom portion in each pineapple bowl to hold the coconut milk mixture. Reserve the removed pineapple flesh. Wrap bottoms of the pineapple bowl with a double layer of heavy-duty foil.
• Cut the reserved pineapple into bite-size pieces, discarding the hard core. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, coconut milk, cilantro, and Thai seasoning. Fill each pineapple bowl halfway full of coconut milk mixture.
• Place pineapple bowls on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the coconut milk mixture begins to simmer.
• Remove the pineapple bowls from the grill and carefully remove the aluminum foil. Evenly divide the grilled shrimp, scallops, and cod between the pineapple soup bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

LAYERED SHRIMP SPREAD

Steps:

• On 10- to 12-inch serving plate, spread cream cheese to within 1 inch of edge of plate. In small bowl, mix preserves and cocktail sauce. Spread over cream cheese.
• Top evenly with shrimp. Sprinkle with onions and coconut. Serve with crackers.

PINEAPPLE SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, curry powder and sugar. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry shrimp until they turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan., In same pan, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook just until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add pepper, carrot and onion; stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in pineapple and shrimp. Add rice and soy sauce mixture; heat through over medium heat, tossing to combine and break up any clumps of rice. Stir in green onions. Sprinkle with peanuts; serve with lime wedges.

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.

PINEAPPLE SPREAD FOR TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese and pineapple, beating until well mixed and fluffy.
• If this is too stiff to spread, add the milk, a little at a time, until mixture is of spreading consistency.

SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk pineapple juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sherry, and cornstarch together in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Drizzle vegetable and sesame oils around the top of a wok or large skillet to coat the sides. Heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and add to wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute on each side and transfer cooked shrimp to a clean plate.
• Add pineapple, red bell pepper, onion, and snow peas to the wok, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Return shrimp to the wok, and stir-fry an additional 2 minutes. Whisk stir-fry sauce a couple of times and pour over shrimp and vegetables, stirring constantly until thickened, about 1 minute.
• Serve immediately, garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
