GRILLED SHRIMP

Today is definitely a grilling day.  What glorious weather.  So I am giving you a wonderful, easy dinner for tonight.  Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple rice and grilled Asparagus.  This is one of my favorite Shrimp recipes.  Try it tonight or maybe Sunday for Mother's Day.  You can serve a beautiful lunch, maybe a Margarita and enjoy the day outside with your Mom or Mother-In-Law.  Keep it casual and relaxed.  That's what it is all about.

GRILLED SHRIMP

Serves 4, but you can make it for as many as you like


24 Jumbo Shrimp raw and peeled
2 cups cooked Rice
Fresh Pineapple 1 whole
Coconut 1/3 cup
Fresh Asparagus
Olive Oil
Paprika
Garlic

Put 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1 tsp of Paprika and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a large plastic bag.  Add the shrimp and let set for about 20 minutes.  Light your grill.  Soak 4 wooden skewers in water while the shrimp are marinating.  Put the water on for the rice.  When it is cooked, add 1 1/2 cups of fresh pineapple chunks and 1/3 cup of shredded coconut. Put 6 shrimp on each skewer.  Grill the Shrimp just for about 3 or minutes on each side.  Brush with the oil mixture. Grill the asparagus at the same time brushing with some olive oil and salt and pepper.  Grill some long slices of fresh pineapple along with the shrimp and asparagus.

Serve the shrimp on a bed of rice with the asparagus and pineapple spears.  A simple meal to put together, but really tasty and satisfying.  A nice cold Margarita will top it all off.
