Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, lemon, chopped onion, and white wine to create the marinade.
- Marinate the peeled shrimp in the sauce for 2 hours.
- Thread the marinated shrimp and chunks of pineapple and whole strawberries onto skewers.
- Place the skewers on the grill.
- Baste the shrimp and fruit with the marinade sauce while grilling.
- Cook for 10 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and slightly charred.
- Serve the skewers over 1/2 cup of cooked rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding minced garlic or ginger to the marinade. If you don't have white wine, a splash of apple cider vinegar can work as a substitute. Using fresh pineapple enhances the sweetness, but canned can be used in a pinch. Ensure the shrimp are well-coated for maximum flavor, and soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
These grilled shrimp skewers pair beautifully with 1/2 cup of cooked rice, but you can also serve them with a light salad or grilled vegetables for a refreshing side. A drizzle of lime juice adds brightness. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside other seafood recipes like Crab Newberg or Saturday Salmon Supper.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but be cautious not to overcook the shrimp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw them completely before marinating. Place them in the refrigerator overnight or run them under cold water for quicker thawing. This ensures even marination and cooking.
What if I don't have skewers?
If you don't have skewers, you can grill the shrimp and fruit directly on a grill pan or in a foil packet. Just ensure everything is securely enclosed to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Can I add other vegetables to the skewers?
Absolutely! Bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes can be great additions to the skewers. Just make sure to cut them into similar sizes for even cooking alongside the shrimp and fruit.
