Perfect for the grill.

Another recipe from Quick Fix Meals- Pineapple Shrimp Skewers.

I adapted it somewhat- it's supposed to be served with a rum sauce, but I added the rum to the glaze.

1 to 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup canned pineapple, cubed (save the juice)
1 large red onion, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 green pepper, cut into chunks (this was my addition)

For the glaze-

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/2 cup dark rum
Pineapple juice

Mix the hoisin, rum, and pineapple juice in a bowl and set aside. Using metal or wooden skewers, alternate pieces of onion, pineapple, shrimp, and pepper. Brush skewers with hoisin mixture. Cook on the grill until shrimp are bright pink, about five minutes. Baste the skewers with sauce as the cook, turning them frequently. Serve with rice.
