Instructions

1.In a blender or food processor, puree the pineapple until smooth. Strain the puree into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
2.In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple puree, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and cayenne. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the glaze has reduced to about 1 cup and is thick and syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3.Preheat the grill to high heat.
4.Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer. Brush the skewers with oil and season with salt and pepper.
5.Grill the skewers until the shrimp are lightly charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
6.Brush the skewers generously on both sides with the glaze during the last minute of grilling.
7.Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve the remaining glaze on the side.
