Broiling these bold-flavored shrimp skewers means dinner is on the table in about 15 minutes. Using the broiler and canned pineapple allows you to prepare this easy entrée year-round, but you can of course use fresh pineapple when it’s season. To keep the shrimp from turning on the skewers, you can thread each shrimp through 2 skewers placed about 3/4 inch apart. When purchasing fresh ginger, look for firm roots that feel heavy for their size. There might be a rough, dried patch on the ginger where a piece cut or broken off. Those are fine but if the entire root is shriveled or dried, don’t purchase it.
