2
Next, bring butter to room temperature and mix with reserved 3 tablespoons coconut milk, shredded coconut and rum and blend together well.
3
If using bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them in water 30 minutes beforehand so they do not burn when put on the grill.
4
Put shrimp and pineapple on the skewers, alternating shrimp and pineapple pieces.

Before turning the grill on, spray with cooking spray or wipe with olive oil so the shrimp do not stick to the grates.

Grill shrimp about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until done.
8
Brush skewers with butter mixture on both sides as they cook.
