Barbecue Shrimp with Pineapple BBQ Glaze #WeekdaySupper

Barbecue Shrimp with Pineapple BBQ Glaze

I love this quick and easy recipe for Barbecue Shrimp with Pineapple BBQ Glaze. You can make this recipe in 30 minutes or less. The sweet pineapple glaze pushes this recipe over the top. I used fresh pineapple, barbecue sauce, shallots and a little fresh ginger to make the glaze. It is amazing!

I’m posting for Weekday Supper today and our theme this month is Summer Vacation Recipes. The last few vacations I’ve gone to we’ve rented a house and seafood is always at the top of our list to make. You can make the skewers and sauce ahead of time and pop them on the grill 10 minutes before you’re ready for dinner.
