Low FODMAP Hawaiian Shrimp Kebabs
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups chunks of fresh pineapple
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided

Directions
- To make your Hawaiian shrimp kabobs, heat a broiler on high, or a grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F).
- If you’re using wooden skewers instead of metal, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to skewering the shrimp.
- Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and BBQ sauce.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers, alternating with the pineapple chunks, red and green bell peppers. Brush kebabs with the BBQ sauce mixture.
- Spray some oil on the grill or broiler grates to prevent sticking. Grill shrimp uncovered, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per side. Shrimp should be opaque when fully cooked.
- Serve your low FODMAP Hawaiian shrimp kabobs with the remaining sauce on the side, a sprinkle of chopped green onions, lemon slices, and steamed rice.
