Ingredients

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/2 tablespoon cornstarch (dissolved in water)

1 whole pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks

1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 cups cooked white rice

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and garlic.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then whisk in dissolved cornstarch until sauce thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare pineapple by peeling, coring, and cutting into chunks or spears.
  4. Thread shrimp and pineapple alternately onto skewers.
  5. Brush skewers generously with teriyaki sauce.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil grates.
  7. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, basting with more sauce, until shrimp are opaque and pineapple is caramelized.
  8. Serve skewers over warm white rice, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Add bell peppers or red onions to skewers for more color and crunch.

Sprinkle crushed red pepper into the sauce for extra heat.

Serve with cauliflower rice or salad for a lighter option.

Do not overcook shrimp they only need 2–3 minutes per side.

Marinate shrimp briefly (15–30 minutes) for extra flavor, but not longer to avoid mushy texture.
