We adore shrimp of any kind but these are very special! You can use an indoor grill for your stove top if it's too cold outside, we use our fireplace grill in winter and it's perfect for these shrimp. The sauce is really the star of this show, it's sweet, savory and luscious! The good news is it's really quick and easy! Just simmer the sauce, skewer the shrimp, green pepper and pineapple, grill for a few minutes and dinner is ready! I serve this with long grain wild rice and a simple salad. Perfect for entertaining!
