  2. Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the marinade. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  7. Thread shrimp onto skewers, alternating with pineapple chunks. Leave a small space between each shrimp on the skewer for even cooking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
