In a hurry? The cook-time for this recipe is a whole six minutes! And, you can marinate the shrimp for as little as 15 minutes.

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 chipotle pepper, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped

Directions

To prepare the marinade, combine the pineapple juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper, garlic, salt, ground pepper, and cilantro in a medium-size bowl. Add the shrimp, toss well to coat, and marinate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
To prepare the sauce, whisk the chili sauce, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger together in a medium-size bowl. Set aside.
Preheat a barbecue or indoor grill to high.
Drain the marinade and add the shrimp to the grill. (If using a barbecue grill, use a mesh grill pan.) Cook the shrimp for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through, tossing frequently. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
