Ahhh... so it's a new year, full of new resolutions. I for one refuse to make resolutions. Quite frankly they just set me up for failure. I have recommitted to a healthier lifestyle, but I made that change about 3-4 weeks ago. You might not be able to tell from all the fatty foods I uploaded but all of them were made for others. So what have I been making for us? Tons of yummy stuff- I can't wait to update my blog with these delicious recipes. I made these on New Year's Day. I ate a LOT on New Year's Eve and really needed some healthy light meals the following days. This recipe was perfect. The taste was truly wonderful. Grilled pineapple is one of the best flavors around!
My only issue with making this was the way I thread my shrimp on the skewer. They weren't all even, making it hard to get the heat evenly distributed. Annoying. I had to keep pushing the little shrimpy guys down and it was driving me nuts. The end results were worth it- light, flavorful, and ridiculously easy!
