IPA Pineapple Teriyaki Skewers

IPA pineapple teriyaki is a fragrant, flavor-loaded sauce with versatile end uses. In this dish from Chef Chris Perrine, it is applied as a glaze over shrimp and fresh pineapple skewers. The same sauce can serve as a dip for grilled veggies, can be drizzled over seared fish & rice bowls or used as a marinade for pork, beef or chicken. The specific flavor profile of the IPA is to the discretion of the recipe preparer.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 6 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger root
  • 3-4 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 6 oz IPA
  • 2 tbsp cold water combined with 1 tbsp cornstarch for a thickening slurry
  • 2 lbs uncooked shrimp, tail on, peeled and deveined
  • ½ fresh pineapple, peeled, core removed, flesh cut into 2 inch cubes

Directions

  1. To prepare the IPA pineapple teriyaki start by bringing the pineapple juice to simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the grated ginger and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Next stir in the dark brown sugar, soy sauce and the IPA of your choice.
  4. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in the slurry to thicken the teriyaki. Set the saucepan aside to cool off the sauce. Transfer to a suitable storage container with an airtight lid once completely cooled off. (The sauce can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
  6. Meanwhile, make the skewers (alternate shrimp and pineapple pieces) and heat the grill.
  7. Brush the IPA pineapple teriyaki over the skewers and grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp are cooked through, transfer the skewers to a platter and brush one more time with the sauce.
