Ingredients

• Grilled Jerk Prawns and Pineapple Skewers:

• 20 -25 Prawns-peeled and deveined

• 0.5 cup Jerk marinade

• 2 Slices Pineapple-cut into 1/2 inch pieces

• Jerk Marinade:

• 1 Scotch bonnet pepper

• 2 Cloves garlic

• 1 tbsp Ginger-grated

• 2 Green onions

• 1 tbsp Thyme-chopped

• 1 All spice

• 0.75 tsp Nutmeg

• 0.75 tsp Cinnamon

• 1 tsp Pepper

• 1 tbsp Brown sugar

• 1 tbsp Oil

• 2 tbsp White vinegar

• 2 tbsp Soy sauce

• 1 tbsp Dark rum

• 0.5 Orange-juice and zest

• 1 Lime-juice and zest

Directions

• Grilled Jerk Prawns and Pineapple Skewers
• Marinate the prawns in the half of the jerk marinade for at least 20 minutes and up to over night.
• Skewer the prawns and pineapple and grill over medium-high heat until cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Jerk Marinade
• Puree everything in a food processor.

Notes

• Grilled Jerk Prawns and Pineapple Skewers are not suitable for freezing.
• Scotch bonnet peppers can be a little hot so you may want to start by adding half a pepper, test the heat level and continue adding more until the marinade is as hot as you want.

Grilled Jerk Prawns and Pineapple Skewers are a great one to make during summer. Hot and spicy jerk prawns plus juicy, sweet and fresh pineapples on a stick – a great appetiser to tease those taste buds!

These skewers are so savory and those people who love seafood will surely enjoy these!

Just don’t make a lot of these. They can’t be kept in the freezer so the leftovers will just go to waste!
