‘Twas a warm spring evening. The air smelled of charcoal and was dotted with bits of pollen. Matt and Mazen were chasing Pumpkin the Cat around our yard, and I was putting the last few pieces of pineapple on shrimp kebobs.
After a few minutes on the grill, it was time to eat. Pineapple Shrimp Kebabs for all!
These kebobs are marinated in orange juice and soy sauce with a kick of red pepper flakes and are finished with juicy pineapple and red peppers. Grilled pineapple is one of my favorite foods!
MY OTHER RECIPES
I prepared a honey-lime-cilantro yogurt dip to go with them. Drizzle it on top of your kebob or dunk away!
Tropical Grilled Shrimp with Yogurt Dip
Prep
Total
Yield 8 Scewers
These tropical kebobs are marinated in orange juice and soy sauce with a kick of red pepper flakes and are finished with juicy pineapple and red peppers.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of large shrimp (20-24 shrimp per pound)
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 pound pineapple (about 2-3 cups of cubes)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
- 1 tsp honey
- 16-20 skewers
For the yogurt sauce
- 1 cup full-fat yogurt or greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped fine
- 1 tbsp honey
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, or to taste
Instructions
- Combine OJ, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, lime and honey in a bowl and mix. Add peeled shrimp and marinate at least 30 minutes.
- Soak skewers for a few minutes to prevent burning (if using wooden ones).
- Cut bell peppers into slices.
- Prepare pineapple into cubes.
- Preheat grill.
- Assemble double skewers by putting two skewers through one shrimp and threading on pineapple and red pepper, alternating until you are all out of ingredients.
- Grill shrimp a few minutes per side - until opaque. Time will depend on how hot your grill is, but you'll need less time than you think or your shrimp will get rubbery.
For the yogurt sauce
- Combine all ingredients and stir well.
yum! the orange juice/soy sauce combo sounds like a great marinade. can’t wait to try this recipe! grilled shrimp is the best shrimp!

Hey Kath,
I left a comment on Instagram that people took as mean. I just think you look so retro and fun and if you haven’t seen or heard about Portable Kitchen grills I thought you should check them out.
