Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers

These are really quick and easy to make. The mix of lemon and cilantro are super flavorful!  Be careful not to purchase the pre-cooked shrimp as the recipe doesn't taste quite as good. (We made that mistake)

Prep: 5-10 min
Cook: 8 min

Ingredients:
1 lb medium uncooked shrimp, shells removed
4 wooden skewers soaked in water for 1 hr, or metal skewers
8 ounces fresh pineapple cubed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to broil or ignite grill.
Thread shrimp and pineapple evenly onto skewers
Combine olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder
Drizzle over skewers
Cook 8 minutes, turning at the halfway point
Remove from heat and drizzle with flaxseed oil
