Recipe
Thaw shrimp, if frozen. For marinade, in a medium mixing bowl combine hoisin sauce, tomato sauce, plum sauce, lemon juice, gingerroot, garlic, and pepper. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Cover and chill for 1 hour. (Do not marinate longer.) Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
If using fresh pineapple, cut in half lengthwise. Reserve one half. Remove and discard shell and core of other half. Cut 16 bite-size chunks for kabobs. Save any remaining fruit for another use.
Drain shrimp, reserving marinade. On each skewer, thread 1 shrimp, 1 pineapple chunk, 1 sweet pepper square, and 1 more shrimp, leaving 1/4-inch space between items. Repeat with remaining skewers and ingredients. Brush kabobs with some of the reserved marinade.
Place kabobs on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat about 4 minutes or till shrimp turn pink, turning kabobs once and brushing with marinade.
To serve, stick the sharp ends of the skewers into the outer shell of the reserved half pineapple. Serve with Sesame Dipping Sauce. Makes 16 servings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
