How to Make Bbq Shrimp On Pineapple Planks

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare the pineapple planks: Cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half if very large. Remove the core.
  3. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Grill the pineapple: Place the pineapple planks on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly softened.
  5. Grill the shrimp: Place the marinated shrimp on top of the grilled pineapple planks. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from grill and garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of extra BBQ sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
