1 large red bell pepper seeded and cut into 1 inch x 1 inch piece

1 large red onion peeled and cut into 1 inch x 1 inch chunks

Instructions

If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to pre-soak them in water for at least 1 hour

Preheat a grill over medium heat (350º-400ºF)

Mix the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, cilantro and sea salt together in a medium bowl.

Thread the shrimp, pineapple, red onions and peppers onto the skewers alternating the red and green peppers as you go. Use two shrimp per skewer with veggies in between and on the outside of each shrimp.

Brush skewers with half the marinade and let sit for 5 minutes.

Place the skewers on the grill, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Brush the skewers with the remaining chili sauce as they cook.
