  • 1 lb large uncooked shrimp
  • 1 lb pineapple chunks
Dipping Sauce

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce and sambal until well combined.

  3. Using a pastry brush, generously coat both sides of each skewer with the sauce mixture.

  3. Remove from grill and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley and lime wedges before serving.
