Ingredients
- 1/2 cup thick teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 dash kosher salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound bacon, package sliced in half
Special Equipment:
- About 30 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and position a roasting rack inside a large baking panget ready for flavor explosion!
- Whip up an irresistible marinade: combine teriyaki sauce with fresh ginger, sugar, crushed red pepper, salt, minced garlic, sliced green onions, and zesty lemon juice. Mix until perfection and set aside.
- Prep the pineapple: slice off the top, peel the rind, cut into wedges, remove the core, and chop into juicy bite-sized pieces. Save half for a tropical treat later!
- Assemble these irresistible skewers: place a pineapple chunk on a shrimp, wrap with half a bacon strip, and thread onto a soaked skewer. Repeat until your pan is loaded with deliciousness, then baste generously with marinade.
- Bake for 10 minutes, baste again with more marinade magic, then return to the oven for another 15 minutes until bacon crisps to perfection and shrimp is plump and cooked through.
- Serve hot or chilledthese skewers are guaranteed to disappear fast and leave everyone craving more!
Suggested Variations
Level up your skewers: thread multiple pieces on metal skewers for easy grilling, swap shrimp for succulent sea scallops, or fire them up on the grill instead of baking. (Pro tip: Soak wooden skewers thoroughly or use metal to avoid flare-ups!)
