Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Spiral-Cut the Pineapple

Cut off both ends of pineapple; place upright on cutting board. Remove peel by making lengthwise cuts from top to bottom of pineapple, working your way around pineapple. Lay pineapple on it's side. Following the diagonal pattern of the eyes, remove eyes by making shallow v-shaped cuts in pineapple. Cut pineapple crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Remove core from each slice.

How to Safely Thawing Shrimp

Thaw frozen shrimp in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. Or, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water and change the water every 10 min. until the shrimp are completely thawed.

Delicious! Used thawed, cooked shrimp and canned pineapple chunks. Heated stovetop and served over rice. Quick, easy and very, very good!

I made this for dinner and served it with a rice side dish. It was amazing and even my kids liked it!! I didn't add the cilantro because we are not fans and it still tasted great!

This was fantastic! I too used canned pineapple instead but also added red bell pepper and onion to my skewers. We put the on the grill on low for about 8 minutes and the flavor was phenomenal!

I didn't put this on skewers. I tossed it all in a fry pan and had it with white rice. It was wonderful!! There was just the right amount of juice from the dressing and pineapple to lightly coat the rice. I also use canned pineapple instead of fresh, simply because I had some on hand.
