And since it’s gonna be pretty steamy, you want something light, right? And since everyone wants their dad to eat healthy, how about these shrimp and pineapple skewers. They’re spicy and sweet, and so much better than the same ‘ol hot dogs and hamburgers.

I used my favorite BBQ sauce aka Chrissy’s chipotle marinade, but you can use whatever sauce you have on hand.

If you don’t have outdoor space or a grill / fire these up in your kitchen, as I did, on a grill pan. Same charred lines, same taste…

And goes perfectly with my spiralized cucumber salad with fresh watermelon, mango and mint.

BBQ Pineapple and Shrimp Skewers

SERVES TWO-FOUR

Ingredients

  • 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • package of skewers
  • 1/2 pineapple, cut in chunks (I cut up a whole one and stored unused in a tupperware to eat as a snack)
  • 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
  • nonstick cooking spray (if using grill pan on the stove)

Instructions

  1. Toss pineapple and shrimp in a bowl with BBQ sauce until coated.
  2. Assemble shrimp and pineapple onto skewers.
  3. Spray grill pan with nonstick spray and heat on medium-high heat.
  4. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, until shrimp is opaque.
  5. Remove from grill pan and serve either on plates or in cups.

Notes

I used Chrissy’s chipotle marinade — a tasty, but very spicy BBQ-style sauce.

father's day tie-dye after shotFather’s Day is just four days away. Did you get your dad a present yet? Do you know what you’re bringing to your family BBQ?

If your answer to either of those questions is no, shame on you!

But also: not to worry, there’s still plenty of time; I’ve got you covered.

Even if your dad isn’t a Dead Head (as mine is) everyone loves a little tie-dye. He can wear it to garden, play frisbee golf, or to bed. So pick up some white socks and t-shirts and order an easy tie-dye kit… it’s a super easy and fun project. You’re never too old to get crafty! And what parent doesn’t love a handmade present?

Now, to the food: try these spicy shrimp and pineapple skewers that you can either throw on the BBQ or in your grill pan. They go perfectly with an easy spiralizedcucumber salad — which is as flavorful as it is colorful.

There, just like that… all set for dad.
