Ingredients:

Serving

24 jumbo shrimp, peeled but with tails intact
8 skewers (metal or wooden, if wooden soak first)
8 oz fresh pineapple, cut into 16 chunks
16 scallions (white bulbous parts only)
1 stalk lemongrass, finely chopped
fresh gingerroot (1-inch piece, peeled and grated)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp turmeric
1 pinch sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Place the marinade ingredients in a food processor and blend to a paste. Transfer the paste to a large bowl, add the shrimp and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, alternating with the pineapple chunks and scallions. Reserve the marinade for basting. Cook the shrimp skewers on a prepared grill for 8-10 minutes, turning and basting them while they cook. Serve at once.
