This grilled recipe comes together quickly and brings sweet heat to your meal, with fiery shrimp and caramelized pineapple rings. We especially love to eat this outside under a summer sky with a fresh, herby salad.

Grilled Cajun Shrimp

Ingredients

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard, Creole or stone ground
  • 1 tablespoon pineapple juice
  • 2 teaspoons crushed pineapple
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon pickle juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 pineapple rings
  • red pepper flakes, garnish
  • chopped parsley, garnish
Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Combine the first nine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper; refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Preheat the grill over medium-high heat with the lid closed for 10 minutes. Add the grill topper to the grill, close the lid and continue to preheat for 5-10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, combine all Cajun seasoning ingredients; pat shrimp dry and season liberally on both sides.

4. Oil the grill topper and sear shrimp in single layer batches until nicely charred, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter.

5. While the shrimp is cooking, sprinkle the pineapple rings on both sides with Cajun seasoning mixture. Oil the grill grate and add the pineapple; cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side and remove.

6. Transfer the grilled pineapple to a platter with the shrimp and drizzle with remoulade. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
