You fish lovers really go without seafood recipes here, being as I don’t like it much. I’ve gotten a few requests and thought I’d try and find some good seafood recipes. I found one today for Pineapple-Shrimp Skewers that was being offered to Delicious Byte bloggers and thought it would be perfect to share, so here you go. It looks simple, I hope you enjoy.

Kraft Kitchens Tips
How to Spiral-Cut the Pineapple
Cut off both ends of pineapple; place upright on cutting board. Remove peel by making lengthwise cuts from top to bottom of pineapple, working your way around pineapple. Lay pineapple on it’s side. Following the diagonal pattern of the eyes, remove eyes by making shallow v-shaped cuts in pineapple. Cut pineapple crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Remove core from each slice.
How to Safely Thawing Shrimp
Thaw frozen shrimp in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. Or, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water and change the water every 10 min. until the shrimp are completely thawed.
