    Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp Skewers are the perfect summer recipe. Made with juicy shrimp, spices, and fresh pineapple, these skewers work great as an appetizer or main course. This is a popular way of preparing jumbo shrimp in Hawaii, with a garlic butter sauce and served over white rice. With fresh garlic and spices like paprika and cayenne pepper, it’s like a recipe they often serve from food trucks in Hawaii, especially on the north shore of Oahu.
