I had a bunch of pineapple leftover after making my croque hawaii and I remembered how much I enjoyed the pineapple and teriyaki combination in the grilled teriyaki chicken and pineapple sandwich that I had had a while ago. Speaking of teriyaki, I had also been wanting to try shrimp teriyaki and I thought that a shrimp and pineapple teriyaki would be really good. I kept this recipe nice and simple with pretty much just shrimp, pineapple and teriyaki sauce. I worked the pineapple into the dish in three ways; I mixed some pineapple juice into the teriyaki marinade, I used big slices of the pineapple to complement the shrimp and I used some pureed pineapple to thicken up the body of the sauce. The shrimp and pineapple teriyaki turned out great! The sweet, tangy and juicy just warmed pineapple went really well with the succulent shrimp and the sweet and salty teriyaki sauce rounded out the flavours of the dish nicely.

I am not a shrimp eater, but I would definitely try making this with salmon or chicken…I haven’t had teriyaki in a LONG time. I think its time to change that.
I would love to make this. I love shrimp with pineapple. And this sounds fairly simple to make. Thanks!!!
oh such an interesting recipe! i like the use of pineapple juice..it must be so tasty!
As everyone has already said, this looks and sounds amazing, and I love that it’s simple! Do you have a favorite brand of teriyaki sauce? I seem to have a hard time choosing the right one.
Yumm! Love the pineapple and shrimp combination. Your last two dishes have me pining away for my old home on the north shore!!
I love shrimp Kevin and this look wonderful!!! Gloria
Kevin, your photos are always so lovely and appetizing. I should know better than to come here on an empty stomach!

Great use for leftover pineapple – looks outstanding!
The sauce does look nice and thick. Good idea adding in pureed pineapple.
Colin’s Mom: I like to make my own teriyaki sauce. It is nice and simple to make and it tastes great. Teriyaki Sauce
This sounds really good, and the green onion adds a nice touch of color!
I never would have thought of that combo, but it looks awesome!
Oh, Yum- this looks so good!!
Wow….I would never have imagined this combo! Looks so good!
I was just about to comment that you could make your own teriyaki instead of buying the stuff in a bottle when I realised the link to your recipe. Good job.
As usual your plate of food looks splendid.
I haven’t put pineapple in my teriyaki in the past, but I will have to give it a try. Sounds great!
what an exotic meal!! love it!!
I want this for dinner!
I made this today! I was lazy and didn’t reduce the marinade, so I may have lessened the effect, but it was very nice nonetheless. Teriyaki is wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!
This looks and sounds phenomenal. I love the flavor combination, great idea!
Makes me want to say ‘GO HAWAIIAN”!
I love pineapple! This is great!
I would never have thought to combine pineapple with shrimp, but your picture makes the recipe seem very appealing. Inspired!
Oooooh. Pineapples are my weakness!
Bumped your blog when I was looking for a picture of “Reuben Sandwich”. I am so amazed and impressed by your creative food.
It sounds more “Hawaiian” but still “Oishi-so~!”(means “looks delicious” in Japanese)
No mention of how or when to use the pureed pineapple–where does that fit in?
The “pureed mixture” in step 2 is the pureed pineapple. Enjoy!
Here are the steps from above. There is no mention of the puree.
1. Marinate the shrimp in the teriyaki sauce and pineapple juice for 10-20 minutes in the fridge.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Add the shrimp and saute until cooked, about 2 minutes per side and set aside.
4 Reduce the marinade by half in the pan.
5. Add the pineapple and heat.
6. Remove from heat and mix in the shrimp and sesame oil.
7. Garnish with the green onion.
LOL! I’m not sure how that happened! I have updated the recipe! Thanks!
