Ingredients

1 lb - shrimp
1 tsp - salt
½ tsp - black pepper
½ tsp - chili powder
¼ tsp - paprika
¼ tsp - garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons - olive oil
1 cup - pineapple
1 ½ cups - English cucumber
1 - avocado
2 - limes
¼ cup - red onion
2 - green onions
½ - jalapeño
¼ cup - fresh cilantro
½ tsp - salt
¼ tsp - black pepper
pinch - garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat outdoor grill to 425 degrees F. Meanwhile, mix together seasonings and olive oil in a medium bowl. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and add to the seasoning mix. Toss to coat.
Add shrimp to skewers and set aside. Note: 1 pound of 19 to 21-count shrimp will make about 4 large skewers.
Place skewers on grill for 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill for another 3 minutes, until shrimp are just cooked through.
For the salsa, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and stir to combine. Serve atop the skewers or on the side as a fresh salad-style salsa. Salsa can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.
