Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple Salad
Now that summer is in full swing, I’m sure you have all been to a cookout. After all the burgers, dogs, sausages, potato salads, and chips you might be looking for something lighter. I selected this dish due to all the fresh herbs in our garden (see picture). I also made this last year at BBQU (original recipe can be found at barbecuebible.com). If you get the prep done ahead this meal cooks quickly. Get grill hot. I prefer charcoal, but a gas grill will work. Make the dressing by mixing ¼ cup fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk to dissolve the sugar. Slice and sauté a shallot and a few garlic cloves in some oil for about 2 minutes. Set aside sliced shallot and garlic
to top the salad. Save the oil and let it cool.
Carve up a pineapple and cut into slices. Brush the slices with the leftover oil. Dredge in some sugar and grill over a hot grill. Put the pineapple on the grill right after you dredge in the sugar. Grill for about 90 seconds on each side (see picture). Remove from the grill, chop the pineapple, and save the juice that drips out of the pineapple for the dressing. Add a bunch of cilantro, mint, basil, and chopped pineapple (and juice) to the bowl. Wait to toss the salad and dressing. Baste the shrimp with garlic/shallot oil and grill over a hot grill. The original recipe calls for sliced jalapeno, but I like to grill it at the same time the shrimp is cooking. Grill the shrimp and jalapeno for about 2 minutes on each side. Slice the Jalapeno (remove seeds if you don’t like it spicy). Add the shrimp and jalapeno to the salad. Toss and then top with the sautéed shallot and garlic. Enjoy!
