Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 lbs red snapper, cubed (substitutions listed in instructions); 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved; 1 large red onion, large dice; 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 2 tablespoons pineapple juice; 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, finely minced; 1 teaspoon shallot, finely minced; 1 teaspoon jalapeno pepper (seeded, membraned and microplaned); 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar; 1 pinch cayenne

Servings: persons

1
In a glass bowl, mix lime juice, pineapple juice, and rice vinegar.
2
Add shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, and cayenne.
3
Place fish, onion, and grape tomato halves in a heavy ziplock storage bag. Note: the recipe was created for red snapper, but tilapia, small bay scallops, or small peeled and deveined shrimp can all be used in place of the snapper.
4
Pour marinade over fish, tomatoes, and onions. Squeeze air out of bag and seal. Refrigerate 4 hours, turning the bag over every 30 minutes.
5
Skewer a piece of fish, one tomato half, and one piece of red onion on a small skewer or toothpick. (DO NOT use the colored variety as these will bleed into your fish, and trust me, blue is not an attractive color on snapper).
6
Serve chilled.
