BBQ Garlic Pineapple Shrimp

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

One of my favorite things about shrimp, besides the fact that they are delicious, is that they take almost no time to cook. This is one of my favorite ways to have them because it’s three of my favorite flavors all rolled up into one. I’ll typically leave them marinating in these flavors in the morning and throw them on the pan when we are ready to eat. You can’t go wrong with this BBQ Garlic Pineapple Shrimp recipe!

BBQ and Pineapple Flavors

I love the low calorie options that I’ve been seeing in grocery stores lately. I’m usually up for trying any no sugar added items and although not all of them are good, I have found some great ones. One of my favorite BBQ sauces is by G Hughes and I typically go for the Hickory or Original flavor. I just like the smokey taste usually over the sweeter versions they have available. Adding the pineapple flavor to these shrimp just make everything pop! Now throw in some garlic and we are good to go.

Reducing Food Waste

I typically don’t use an entire can of pineapple whenever I use it in a recipe so I like to buy the NSA fruit cups and will use one or two of those. For this recipe I used the NSA pineapple cups made by Dole. This is a great way to eliminate any waste. I do the same thing with unsweetened applesauce when I use it for baking or any recipes. Most recipes call for a small amount to opening an entire jar just doesn’t make any sense. Mini fruit cups are a great option and are easy to find in the grocery store. What’s even better is that most companies have a no sugar added option as well. Fruit is already naturally sweet on it’s own for the most part so we can do without any added sugar.

NSA Pineapple Cups

This recipe is simple, easy to prep in advance, and takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. I will usually prep the sides first, get those going, and once they are almost ready, then I throw the shrimp on the pan.
