MAY 21-27, 2023 Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers Ingredients Sauce: • ¼ cup water • 2 tablespoons soy sauce • 2 tablespoons brown sugar • 1 teaspoon honey • 1 teaspoon grated fresh garlic • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger • 1 pound jumbo shrimp • ½ fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1 1/2- inch pieces • skewers • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (Optional) • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (Optional) Directions 1. Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium- high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers and place on a platter. 3. Arrange skewers on the hot grate. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. Turn grill to low heat and brush sauce on both sides of skewers. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Cook's Notes: Try to cut the pineapple chunks approximately the same size as the shrimp for even grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning. Pineapple Grilled Pork Chops Ingredients • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings, juice drained and reserved • ¼ cup brown sugar • ¼ cup soy sauce • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder • 4 pork chops • 1 pinch ground black pepper Directions 1. Mix together the drained pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder together in a large plastic zipper bag, and smush the bag a few times with your hands to mix the marinade and dissolve the sugar. Place the pork chops into the marinade, squeeze out any air in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. 3. Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off excess, and grill until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the meat shows good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Brush several times with marinade and let the marinade cook onto the surface of the meat. Discard excess marinade. While the meat is grilling, place 4 pineapple rings onto the grill, and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks; serve the chops topped with the grilled pineapple rings.
