Preparing Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers is straightforward. Follow these steps to create this mouth-watering meal:

1. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, paprika, and black pepper.
3. Marinate Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This step enhances flavor but is optional if you’re short on time.
4. Preheat Grill: While the shrimp marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers. Leave room at the ends of each skewer for handling.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 10-15 minutes total.
7. Serve Immediately: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool for a moment before serving.
