How to cook deliciously - Jerk Shrimp & Pineapple Bowls

1. Stage

If using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; heat 5 minutes (or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat). Pat shrimp dry. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp and 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning.

Cut pineapple in half lengthwise. Cut pineapple flesh from each half, leaving a 1/2" border. Discard hard core. Chop pineapple flesh into 1/2" pieces.

3. Stage

In a small bowl, combine preserves, vinegar, brown sugar, and remaining 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning.

4. Stage

Thread shrimp onto skewers. Grill, turning once, until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

5. Stage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add sweet peppers and Scotch bonnet pepper; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, white scallion parts, and thyme; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add 1 cup chopped pineapple and preserves mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until glaze is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from skewers, add to skillet, and toss to coat.
