  • 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
  • seasoned salt, as needed
  • SAUCE

  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 package 6 inch bamboo skewers
  • SEASONED SALT

Instructions
  1. Arrange the pineapple chunks and shrimp on 8 inch skewers. Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
