Notes

Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes in water before skewering shrimp & grilling.

Remove the shrimp shells except for the tail (or you can remove the tail if you prefer) before skewering.

Do not marinate the shrimp for more than 30 minutes, or else the acidic marinade will start cooking the shrimp.

Cut the bell peppers and pineapples into similar sizes, to match the size of the shrimp, so they grill up evenly.
