Sugarcane Shrimp

1. 1

   Wash the shrimp and place them in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, rum, oil, sugar, and garlic in a second bowl season with salt, pepper, and habanero.

3. 3

   Cover with plastic wrap and allow the shrimp to marinate while preheating the broiler or grill.

4. 4

   When ready, thread 1 pineapple chunk, 1 shrimp, then a second pineapple chunk on each skewer.

5. 5

   Place the skewers on a broiler pan and cook until lightly browned, turning once, 3 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Note: To make sugarcane skewers, wash the sugarcane stalk thoroughly.

7. 7

   Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully cut the stalk crosswise, at a joint, into sections the length of the skewer needed.

8. 8

   Be careful, as the cane is harder than you think.

9. 9

   Split at the center of the core lengthwise into quarters for 4 skewers.

10. 10

    Don't remove the outer bark; it reinforces the skewer.

11. 11

    Sharpen the ends of the skewers into points.
