Directions

TERIYAKI SAUCE

​

1. In a small saucepan whisk together all of the ingredients except the cornstarch water slurry. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes.

​

  2. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and boil for another minute or until it has thickened. Remove from the heat and           pour half of the sauce into a small serving bowl. Cool the remaining sauce while you assemble the skewers, this         will be used to glaze the skewers.

SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

​​

1. Preheat the grill to approximately 400-425° F. Thread the shrimp and pineapple onto metal or wooden skewers (soak overnight if using wooden). Season with salt and pepper and brush or spray with oil.

2. Place the skewers on the grill and brush the tops with teriyaki sauce. Close the lid and grill for approximately 2 minutes. Flip the skewers over and brush with the remaining sauce and grill another 2 minutes or until just cooked through. 

3. Remove from the grill and serve over quinoa, rice, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds and the reserved teriyaki sauce.
