12 large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
⅓ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon demerara sugar
¼ teaspoon minced garlic
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
minced habanero pepper (substitute jalapeA o for a milder taste)
24 two-inch fresh pineapple chunks
12 eight-inch sugarcane skewers

1
Wash the shrimp and place them in a large bowl.
2
Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, rum, oil, sugar, and garlic in a second bowl season with salt, pepper, and habanero.
3
Cover with plastic wrap and allow the shrimp to marinate while preheating the broiler or grill.
4
When ready, thread 1 pineapple chunk, 1 shrimp, then a second pineapple chunk on each skewer.
5
Place the skewers on a broiler pan and cook until lightly browned, turning once, 3 to 5 minutes.
6
Note: To make sugarcane skewers, wash the sugarcane stalk thoroughly.
7
Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully cut the stalk crosswise, at a joint, into sections the length of the skewer needed.
8
Be careful, as the cane is harder than you think.
9
Split at the center of the core lengthwise into quarters for 4 skewers.
10
Don't remove the outer bark; it reinforces the skewer.
11
Sharpen the ends of the skewers into points.
