How to Make Shrimp Kabobs

  1. Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
  2. Thread 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp, 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces), and 1 green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces) onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of reserved pineapple juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  4. Place the kabobs in a shallow baking dish and pour the sweet and sour sauce over them, ensuring all kabobs are coated.
  5. Grill or broil the kabobs for 3-4 minutes per side, basting frequently with the sauce, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
