Helpful Tips

Use large shrimp – Opt for jumbo or large shrimp so they don’t overcook too quickly on the grill.
Get the grill good and hot – You want the grill nice and hot when you put the shrimp and pineapple on so that you get good grill marks.
Don’t overcook the shrimp – Shrimp only need 1-2 minutes per side. Any more then that and they will be tough and rubbery.
