Grilled Pineapple Shrimp Skewers with SANC Soy Sauce

Sweet, smoky, savory, and just a little spicy—these grilled pineapple shrimp skewers are the kind of recipe that makes summer cooking feel effortless.

If you’re looking for a fast dinner that still feels exciting, this is it. Shrimp cooks quickly, pineapple caramelizes beautifully on the grill, and a simple marinade brings everything together with bold flavor. In this version, SANC Soy Sauce adds deep umami and balanced saltiness that plays especially well with lime, brown sugar, and a touch of heat.

The result is a skewer that tastes bright and juicy at first bite, then rich and savory underneath. It’s easy enough for a weeknight, but colorful and crowd-pleasing enough for a backyard cookout.

Why SANC Soy Sauce Works So Well Here

This recipe is built around contrast: sweet pineapple, tender shrimp, fresh lime, and smoky char from the grill. A soy sauce with depth helps tie it all together.

SANC Soy Sauce brings that rounded umami flavor that helps the marinade taste fuller, not just saltier. It gives the shrimp a savory backbone, helps the brown sugar caramelize a little on the grill, and makes the pineapple taste even brighter by comparison.

SANC Grilled Pineapple Shrimp Skewers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup SANC Soy Sauce

• 1/4 cup lime juice

• 1 Tbsp hot sauce or sriracha

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 12 oz extra-large shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined

• 2 cups pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

• skewers

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to about 375°F. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes first.

2. Make the marinade by whisking together SANC Soy Sauce, lime juice, hot sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Reserve some marinade in a separate bowl for basting later.

4. In a large bag or bowl, combine the shrimp, pineapple, and bell pepper with the remaining marinade. Let everything marinate for about 30 minutes. Don't marinate longer than 30 minutes because the lime juice can start to affect the shrimp’s texture.

5. Build the skewers by alternating shrimp, pineapple, and bell pepper.

6. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade as they cook. The shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque and the produce has light grill marks and begins to soften.

7. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or alongside a crisp summer salad.

Tips for the Best Shrimp Skewers

A few small details make a big difference here.

Cut everything to a similar size.
That helps the shrimp, pineapple, and peppers cook evenly.

Do not over-marinate.
Thirty minutes is plenty. Any longer and the citrus can start to change the shrimp too much.

Use reserved marinade for basting only.
Do not reuse marinade that has already been in contact with raw shrimp.

Watch the shrimp closely.
They cook fast. Once they’re pink, opaque, and lightly firm, they’re ready.
