Ingredients

Shrimp:

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne (decrease or skip if you’re adverse to spice)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 pound pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • Skewers, soaked for an hour or so.

Guacamole:

  • 1 avocado, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. To Make the Shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. To a bowl, add the shrimp, along with the lime juice, chipotle chile pepper, garlic powder, cumin, ground cayenne and salt. Mix until the shrimp are completely coated.
  2. To skewers, alternating, add the shrimp, pineapple and red onion. Transfer to a baking sheet. Alternatively, you can cook these over a high flame on the grill. If you do it this way, you’ll have to cook the shrimp for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  3. Transfer the oven to cook for about 15 minutes, rotating them at the 7 minute mark.
  4. To Make the Guacamole: To a small bowl, smash together the avocado, red onion, lime juice and a few pinches of salt.
  5. Serve the shrimp with the guacamole on the side for dipping!
