Shrimp, Pineapple and Bacon Skewers Recipe

Savory-sweet little bites of bacon, shrimp, and pineapple make delicious finger food for kids or fun party snacks – or try them out when you’re feeling a little bored of your usual meat rotation and want something different for dinner.

They don’t take any longer to make than a traditional roast or another protein dish, and they make a nice change from the usual meat rotation.

You will need some homemade ketchup to make the sauce for this recipe, but that’s not hard to make. The sauce also calls for coconut aminos – that’s a Paleo-friendly sub for soy sauce. You can get coconut aminos at health-food stores or online.

For a snack tray, you won’t need any accompaniment for these, but for a regular dinner, what about chipotle sweet potato fries and a leafy salad? Some coleslaw might also be good – maybe with a little fruit in it to match the protein. Just make sure you’re getting some vegetables in there to make it a meal.
