I finally decided to make some shrimp and pineapple skewers.<\/p>\n<p>Because I wasn&#8217;t brushing this on but using it as a quick marinade and coating, I needed to bump up the glaze amount a bit.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s what I did:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andrea&#8217;s Chipotle Glaze for marinading<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cloves of garlic<\/li>\n<li>3 chipotle peppers<\/li>\n<li>1TBSP sauce (plus a pinch more)<\/li>\n<li>1.5TBSP soy sauce<\/li>\n<li>1TBSP honey<\/li>\n<li>1.5 tsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1tsp garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>1tsp smoked paprika<\/li>\n<li>2tsp grill seasoning<\/li>\n<li>Pinch seasalt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Add all ingredients to a mini food processor and pulse until you get a sauce mixture.\u00a0 By upping some of the ingredients, you get a little bit more of a sauce which makes it more appropriate for a marinade.\u00a0 Seafood you only want to sit in the marinade for a few minutes. Things like pork, chicken, and steak can handle it for a bit longer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_5882\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/ohc_chipotle_glazed_shrimp.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5882\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5882\" title=\"Chipotle Glazed Shrimp\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/ohc_chipotle_glazed_shrimp-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Shrimp and pineapple skewers \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/ohc_chipotle_glazed_shrimp-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/ohc_chipotle_glazed_shrimp.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shrimp and pineapple skewers <\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now I made shrimp and pineapple skewers with this and grilled.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s what I did:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andrea&#8217;s Chipotle Glazed Grilled Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This makes 4 shrimp and pineapple skewers<\/li>\n<li>1C pineapple chunks<\/li>\n<li>1\/2-1 lb of EZpeel shrimp<\/li>\n<li>Chipotle marinade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using bamboo or wooden skewers, soak them for about 15 minutes in water first.\u00a0 Then rub them with a little bit of olive oil.
