Pina Colada Shrimp
"This is out of a cookbook called "Patio Daddy-O" 50's recipes with a 90's twist...If you plan to serve this with rice, try cooking the grains in coconut milk instead of water...I can see using my George Foreman grill or any outside grill to cook the shrimp...cooking time does not include marinating time...hope you enjoy!"

Oh my, this is almost as good as an actual visit to the islands! The pineapple, lime and dark rum are really outstanding. Had to use the gas grill but you just have to use what you have right?. I added some lime juice to the rice also and it was one delicious dinner with a strawberry and coconut salad on the side. :D
